Dozens of buildings damaged, more than 130 people injured, and at least eight killed as a result of an Iranian ballistic missile attack on the southern Israeli city of Arad.
Israel’s Security Cabinet is convening for an emergency late-night meeting.
Earlier, the nearby city of Dimona—home to Israel’s nuclear facilities—was also struck.
Rapid escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict: Iranian ballistic missiles hit residential areas in Arad (southern Israel), killing at least eight and injuring over 130, with dozens trapped under rubble.

Escalation?
They weren’t nuclear, so that’s something.
Iran regime would like nothing better than nuke tiny Israel. Iran is 150 times bigger landmass than Israel
How is it there are so many active Iranian missile site after three weeks of constant attacks by American/Israel forces???
Thank God Trump went in BEFORE Iran had nukes...
If eight are indeed dead Israel has been censoring that information for hours as of now.
If they had ‘em they would certainly have used ‘em by now.
Only reason they don’t have ‘em is because we stopped ‘em.
This is the first serious hit Israel has taken in this whole conflict since Oct 7.
It’s unfortunate, but not surprising that SOMETHING finally, or eventually, got through. It was bound to happen.
Prayers up for all the victims.
Shouldn’t it be multiple dead, dozens injured? Or is that taking grammar naziism to far?
This story sounds more credible than another thread about Iran firing a missile at Diego Garcia.
Exactly we have Israeli news here i24 news and not one mention of any deaths
Iran is working very hard to make World War III happen
They won’t actually get Dimona to go critical
But if they destroy the Dome of the Rock...
Things move to a significant level.../Captain Obvious
One might get the impression that Iran has decided to trigger Armageddon.
They likely hope so IMHO
Their “12th Imam” and all that
Gonna go out with a big bang boom 💥💥💥
They often beat themselves to death during Ashura.
They want to go out with a big bang boom. We must accomodate them.
