Israel’s military has said an Iranian missile struck the southern town of Dimona, home to a nuclear facility, after medics reported 39 people injured by shrapnel, according to AFP.
The army told AFP there was a “direct missile hit on a building” in the town in the Negev desert.
Dimona hosts a facility just outside the main town, widely believed to possess the Middle East’s sole, if undeclared, nuclear arsenal.
Magen David Adom first responders said their teams treated 39 people at a number of impact sites, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition who was “fully conscious”.
