Around 59 people were wounded - most lightly - by Iranian missile strikes on Dimona in southern Israel, according to Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom, as reported by multiple Israeli media outlets.
The area is home to Israel's nuclear research facility and a power plant — making it one of the most sensitive targets Iran has struck since the war began.
Earlier Saturday, Iran accused the United States and Israel of striking its Natanz nuclear site.
Natanz is Iran's most important uranium enrichment facility, the heart of its nuclear program and one of the primary targets of the US-Israeli campaign since Operation Epic Fury was launched on February 28.
The city of Arad, located 25 kilometers from Dimona, sustained another direct missile impact, causing significant damage and injuries, emergency services announced, following the military's warning of an imminent incoming missile attack from Iran.
Iran has warned the United States that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli offensive on a mountainous ridge in southern Lebanon where Iranian military personnel are holed up alongside Hezbollah fighters, three officials briefed on the message told Reuters.
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the renewed U.S. campaign against Iran would not continue for "too long" after the biggest exchange of fire between Tehran and Washington since July.
Top aides to President Donald Trump are pushing to keep the Iran war from escalating before November's midterm elections to staunch Republican electoral losses, four people familiar with the discussions said, a strategy already under strain as the U.S. and Iran exchanged back-and-forth attacks overnight.
