Iran has intensified its offensive against Israel by directly targeting the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center in the Negev Desert with ballistic missiles. This incident, occurring on Day 22 of the current conflict, represents the first time Tehran has explicitly aimed at Israel's most sensitive and secretive nuclear facility, often referred to as Dimona. While Israeli defense systems reportedly intercepted the primary threat, the strike caused sirens to blare across the region and into central Israel, resulting in at least 20 injuries. The facility is considered the backbone of Israel's opaque nuclear program, with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimating the state's arsenal at over 80 warheads as of last year. The International Atomic Energy Agency has been briefed on the situation as fears of a wider regional fallout and nuclear infrastructure risks continue to mount.
