New Satellite Images Show Major Construction at Israel's Dimona Site Linked to Suspected Nuclear Program

Experts believe intensified construction at Israel's Dimona site may involve a new heavy water reactor to support nuclear weapons capacity, reflecting ongoing regional security strategies.

  • Specialists interpreting satellite imagery have identified increased construction activity in 2025 at a key Israeli nuclear facility located close to the city of Dimona.
  • The construction follows long-standing secrecy surrounding Israel's nuclear program, which began in the late 1950s and remains unconfirmed officially.
  • Seven experts assessed the site and believed the work likely involves building a new heavy water reactor linked to Israel's atomic weapons capabilities.
  • Jeffrey Lewis said the facility "probably" is a reactor aiming to produce spent fuel for plutonium separation to sustain nuclear warhead development.
  • This development may renew international scrutiny of Israel, the Middle East's only widely believed nuclear-armed state, despite its no-confirmation policy and potential criticism.
