An Iranian ballistic missile struck Arad, damaging apartment buildings and injuring over 115 people, though no deaths were reported.

The attack exposed weaknesses in Israel’s air defenses, despite intercepting most incoming missiles during the ongoing conflict.

Another strike near Dimona raised concerns due to its proximity to a sensitive nuclear site.

Israeli officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu, condemned the strikes as deliberate attacks on civilians, while Iran claimed it targeted military-related facilities, NBC News has reported.

The incident marks a rise in casualties and highlights the continued risks despite reduced Iranian missile activity.
