Destroying the Dimona nuclear reactor and causing a leak is a long-standing goal of anti-Israel groups.

According to breaking reports, Hamas has fired several rockets towards the Dimona nuclear reactor.

Destroying the reactor and unleashing nuclear contamination has been a long-standing goal of Hezbollah, Iran and Hamas. Several days ago the IDF Spokesman’s Twitter account was hacked and a fake message that rockets had hit the reactor and there was a nuclear leak were posted — to cheers from pro-Palestinians on Twitter.

According to official sources, the rockets actually fired today either missed or were shot down by Iron Dome. There are conflicting reports as to how many rockets were fired towards the reactor.

In 2012, Israel announced that in the even of war, the reactor would be shut down. It’s not known as of this writing if that has taken place.

Here is a map demonstrating where the town of Dimona is located relative to Gaza:

I worked in the nuclear industry and know that reactor containment shielding is made to withstand a direct hit by a military jet in the United States. I would expect the same, or better, from one existing in Israel.

If the Dimona reactor isn’t capable of withstanding a hit by a rocket, then the people who built it didn’t correctly anticipate the possibility of warfare in the ME.
