Iranian strikes hit two communities near Israel's main nuclear research center, injuring more than 100 people in the southern part of the country. It was the first time Israel's nuclear research center has been targeted in the war that began three weeks ago.
The strikes came hours after Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was hit in an airstrike, for which Israel's military has denied responsibility.
Israel's military said it was not able to intercept the Iranian missiles that hit the cities of Dimona and Arad, the largest near the center of Israel's sparsely populated Negev desert.
Israel's Magen David Adom emergency rescue agency said early Sunday morning that at least 64 people were injured in the strike on Arad. A Magen David Adom spokesperson said that seven were hospitalized in serious condition, 15 in moderate condition and 42 in mild condition.
Magen David Adom teams are continuing to search the debris for more casualties, the agency said.
