PNN – The city of Dimona is located in southern Israel and is home to the most important nuclear facility.
The city of Dimona is located in southern Israel and is home to the country’s most important nuclear facility. It is believed to produce the plutonium needed for Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program. Israel is estimated to possess between 80 and 400 nuclear warheads.
The facility was built in the 1960s with French assistance.
Dimona plays a key role in Israel’s policy of nuclear ambiguity.
It is worth noting that Al Jazeera announced today that 20 people have been injured so far following the Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile attack on Dimona in the occupied territories.
According to Al Jazeera, a building in Dimona collapsed following the missile attack, and a search operation has begun to find possible casualties under the rubble. Israeli relief sources announced that rescue teams have been dispatched to the scene.
A fire was also reported at the site of the missile strike, and it is said that a number of people were trapped inside the targeted building.
Israeli media also reported that military helicopters landed in Dimona to transport the wounded to medical centers.
Al-Mayadeen, citing Israeli media, announced: A three-story building in Dimona was targeted and there is a possibility that people (Zionist settlers) were trapped inside.
Some media outlets reported that the mayor of Dimona in the occupied territories, in response to Iranian missiles hitting the area, said: We still don’t know exactly how many missiles we have been hit with, but we know that there have been several hits.
In this regard, the media announced that Iran’s retaliatory attack on the occupied territories had caused many casualties, but the Zionists have so far, in an attempt to censor the facts, confirmed only 20 people were injured.
On the other hand, the missile strike by Iran has once again seriously challenged the Zionist regime’s illusory Iron Dome myth.
