Footage filmed on Saturday evening shows the moment an Iranian missile reportedly struck a building in Dimona, southern Israel.
Magen David Adom ambulance service stated that at least 23 people were injured in the attack on Dimona, adding that two including a child are in a stable condition, while 21 sustained minor injuries including shrapnel wounds.
Meanwhile, Iranian state television announced that “Iran’s missile force targeted Dimona in response to the enemy’s attack on the Natanz nuclear facility.”
Tensions in the Middle East escalated after a joint US-Israeli operation against Iranian targets started on February 28 amid diplomatic talks aimed at limiting Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes.
Tehran responded with strikes on Israel and US military positions in the region, with explosions reported across Gulf countries.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was confirmed dead on the first day, and his son Mojtaba Khamenei was later named as successor.
The war also disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a route for about 20 percent of global oil, as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned it could be restricted to allies, driving a global surge in oil prices.
