Iranian missile hits Israeli city Dimona, causing injuries

Middle Eastern outlets focus on the human toll in southern Israel and the risk that Iran–Israel strikes near nuclear‑linked sites could drag neighboring countries into a wider war. They report that Iran framed the Dimona attack as retaliation, but also highlight concerns in Gulf states and others about threats to energy and transport infrastructure. Regional coverage often stresses that both Iran and Israel are raising the stakes in ways that endanger civilians across the Middle East.
