Iran fires long-range missiles for first time, strikes Israel near Dimona reactor and injures nearly 200
Over 100 people were injured in southern Israeli towns near Dimona after Iranian ballistic missiles bypassed air defenses, marking the largest attack in the ongoing U.S.-Israeli–Iran conflict.
- On Sunday, March 22, 2026, Iran launched missiles hitting Dimona and Arad near Israel's main nuclear research center, injuring at least 90 people as Magen David Adom continues debris searches.
- The timing followed an airstrike on the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, which Israel's military denied responsibility for, marking the first time Israel's nuclear research center has been targeted in the war.
- Israel's military said its defenses failed to intercept missiles striking Dimona and Arad, where footage and rescue teams showed a large crater and heavy damage to at least 10 apartment buildings, while military experts suggested Iran used improvised long-range systems.
- Netanyahu said, 'This is a very difficult evening,' and conveyed 'We are determined to continue to strike our enemies on all fronts,' while the IAEA reported no damage or abnormal radiation levels.
- The U.S. is deploying three more amphibious assault ships and roughly 2,500 Marines to the Middle East, as international efforts to secure sea lanes increase amid rising global fuel and food prices.
