Reports from southern Israel indicate that over the past 24 hours, several cities, including Arad and areas around Dimona, have been targeted by Iranian missile attacks. The strikes have caused building damage and widespread fires, and various sources report that hundreds of people have been injured. An Al Arabiya correspondent reported that 47 people were injured in Dimona and more than 100 in Arad, while Israeli emergency services have confirmed 59 injuries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the night as “very difficult” and warned of the possibility of continued attacks. Meanwhile, Israel Katz stated that joint Israeli and U.S. strikes against targets linked to Iran would intensify. At the same time, the Israeli military confirmed that during an air operation in Iranian airspace, there was an attempt to launch a surface-to-air rocket at an Israeli fighter jet. These developments have increased concerns about a wider escalation of conflict in the region.
