Iran Launches 3 Missiles toward Dimona Nuclear Plant in Israel

Three missiles are heading toward the Dimona reactor in southern Israel as part of the latest wave of Iranian attacks on Israeli territory, according to El Qahera News, citing Iranian media.

Also, the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV channel reported that Iran launched a hypersonic missile targeting Israel's Dimona nuclear facility and a major defense headquarters. If confirmed, this alleged strike would represent a significant escalation in regional tensions, raising fears of a wider conflict.

Israeli media reported on Friday that the latest wave of Iranian attacks targeting sites in southern Israel has resulted in 18 injuries so far.

Social media accounts circulated a video clip of a building in Beersheba, southern Israel, believed to belong to Microsoft, surrounded by smoke after being hit by an Iranian missile on Friday morning.

On the other hand, Iranian media announced that it had launched a new wave of missiles a short while ago, targeting several sites in southern Israel, specifically in the Negev and Beersheba.

On Thursday morning, Iranian missiles went near Soroka Hospital in the Negev and several other sites inside Israel, causing widespread destruction and material damage.

The military escalation between Iran and Israel is entering its eighth day. 

After Tel Aviv launched a series of airstrikes against Tehran at dawn last Friday, in one of the most violent military strikes targeting Iranian territory in years, dubbed "Operation Rising Lion," Iranian authorities responded to the attacks at dawn last Saturday by launching a large number of missiles under the codename "True Promise 3."
