Iran strikes near Israeli nuclear site, escalating war

Iranian ballistic missiles struck the Israeli cities of Dimona and Arad, wounding nearly 100 people including children, after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept at least two projectiles. Iran framed the attack as direct retaliation for an Israeli strike on its Natanz nuclear facility, while the IAEA chief called for "maximum military restraint." Dimona hosts Israel's widely presumed — though officially unacknowledged — nuclear weapons facility.
