In a severe escalation of the Middle East conflict, Iran launched a series of ballistic missile attacks on southern Israel late last night, hitting Arad, Dimona, and Tel Aviv. In Arad, residential buildings collapsed under direct missile hits, leaving over 80 people injured. Eyewitnesses captured terrifying footage of missiles striking densely populated areas, with debris and shattered glass scattering across the streets. In Dimona, home to Israel’s secretive nuclear facility, more than 100 civilians sustained injuries despite the nuclear plant reportedly remaining structurally intact. Emergency services were dispatched immediately to rescue people trapped under rubble and control fires caused by the missile impacts. The attacks mark the 23rd consecutive day of escalations, with Iran retaliating for recent strikes on its Natanz nuclear facility by Israel and the United States. Previously military-only targets have now expanded to include nuclear and civilian infrastructure, intensifying the crisis. In Tel Aviv, explosions from the Iranian missile barrage caused significant damage in urban neighborhoods, leaving streets littered with debris and igniting widespread fires. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israeli forces have reportedly carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Iran’s Bushehr port, damaging ships and infrastructure but causing no casualties.
