- Iran launched at least two missile strikes on southern Israel.
- Iran said the attacks were retaliation for an attack on its Natanz nuclear site.
- Israel’s air defence system failed to intercept the missiles.
- Arad and Dimona saw more than 100 Israelis injured.
- Southern Israel saw dozens of buildings destroyed.
Why it matters: The attacks expose a breach in Israel’s air‑defence shield, leaving civilians in Arad and Dimona wounded and property destroyed, while Iran launched the missiles in retaliation for an attack on its Natanz nuclear site. Israeli security agencies and the affected communities bear the immediate cost.
