Iranian missile hits Israeli town, spares nuclear facility
Forty people needed treatment for injuries in Dimona, Israel, with a 10-year-old boy in serious condition, and 68 more were treated in nearby Arad. An Iranian missile hit the town, with state TV saying it was a response to a reported attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. Interceptors failed to stop two ballistic missiles, but the International Atomic Energy Agency found no damage at the Dimona nuclear research facility.
