An Iranian missile bearing a heavy warhead on Saturday night directly hit a building where Gur hasidim live in the southern city of Arad, after the IAF failed to intercept it.

Magen David Adom (MDA) reported that 75 people injured at the scene, suffering varying degrees of injury. It is believed that there are people missing and trapped, and rescue forces are operating at the scene.

Among the injured are some whose condition is serious and others whose condition is critical; there are also people trapped under the rubble. MDA reported that thus far, 68 people have been evacuated to Soroka Medical Center, among them 10 who are in serious condition and 13 whose condition is moderate; 48 who suffered light injuries, and four who suffered shock. Among the severely injured victims is a five-year-old girl; four of the victims were reported unconscious. Soroka Medical Center was alerted ahead of the victims' arrival, and helicopters were called to a helipad in Arad.

The moment they fire one, they move to a different location.
Harder to track, but they will be tracked.

Iran has the advantage of being mostly flatland and a lot of desert.

Iran is launching the missiles yet Trump says we control the air and we won.

Iran having to resort to assymetrical warfar is an indication that Israel and US are winning. They aren’t defeated, and they may not be defeated. Iran will have to put up with terrorist attacks for many years in its country.

Two count them two missiles get launched and that means Iran controls the air according to you. Brilliant /s

Asymmetrical warfare can still win wars.

“controlling the air” means an enemy can’t detect or shoot down an attacker’s aircraft ... it doesn’t mean they can’t launch ground-to-ground weapons ...

You should check your facts. Iran is 50% mountainous and only about 7% flatland.

“Iran has the advantage of being mostly flatland and a lot of desert.”

No... you need to look at a 3d topo map of Iran.
Do a deep dive. It’s mostly mountains. Here’s a good picture.

Kind of tough to intercept missiles when most of one’s interceptors were consumed in Ukraine.

The main thing to remember, watching this war, it to imagine China. They are going to build more missiles than anyone can believe.

Sometimes they just get through and unfortunately this time it hit twice..in Dimona Iran was aiming for the nuke facility but instead hit a residential area, in Arad its a small town in Israel, so far no deaths but many many injured. This is why the war cannot end, I know that is what Trump would like but its NOT possible as long as Iran has missiles period..and by the way, those missiles, WE PAID FOR IT, by Obama and Biden shipping Iran BILLIONS of OUR Money we paid for these missiles

Why are you sure it wasn’t a military target?

A weapon getting past defense doesn’t mean anyone messed up. They’re not perfect hit rate, some the missiles are harder to stop than others. A few are near inpossible
