✡️ Shavua Tov to our Israel Realtime community. May this new week bring safety, strength, and success to you and your families — and may we hear only positive news.
🚑 DIMONA STRIKE AND CASUALTY UPDATE: A ballistic missile impact in the southern city resulted in 39 wounded, all evacuated to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba. A 12-year-old boy is in serious condition after shrapnel injuries, while a woman in her 30s is moderately wounded and the remaining casualties are lightly injured, including trauma-related cases.
🏘️ IMPACT DAMAGE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE: The missile carried a large warhead that caused structural damage to homes and surrounding buildings. Home Front Command search and rescue teams, along with medical crews, continue operations at the scene following the strike.
☢️ STRIKE ON NUCLEAR-RELATED FACILITY IN TEHRAN: The Israeli Air Force targeted a research and development facility at Malek Ashtar University, which the IDF says supports Iran’s military industries and development of components linked to nuclear weapons. The site operates under Iran’s Defense Ministry and is sanctioned internationally for its role in nuclear and missile programs.
🎯 TARGETING OF BALLISTIC MISSILE ARRAY IN WESTERN IRAN: Five rapid strikes were conducted against infrastructure within a major ballistic missile array site, eliminating operatives present at the facility. The operation forms part of a broader effort to degrade Iran’s missile firepower across multiple regions.
🛡️ AIR DEFENSE ENGAGEMENT DURING IAF OPERATIONS: A surface-to-air missile was launched toward an Israeli aircraft during operations over Iran, with no damage reported and the mission continuing as planned. Similar interception attempts have been identified throughout the campaign, with crews maintaining operational continuity.
🏭 STRIKES ON IRGC MISSILE PRODUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE: A wide-scale strike sortie in Tehran targeted multiple facilities involved in ballistic missile production, including component manufacturing sites, storage facilities, and fuel production infrastructure. Additional Iranian air defense systems were also struck during the operation.
💥 MULTIPLE STRIKE WAVES ON LAUNCHERS AND WEAPONS SITES: Two coordinated waves of airstrikes targeted weapons production facilities and long-range missile launcher storage sites in Tehran and central Iran. The strikes followed intelligence indicating preparations for launches toward Israel, particularly from central regions where activity increased after earlier degradation of western launch capabilities.
🪖 IDF ASSESSMENT OF CAMPAIGN PROGRESS AND THREAT ENVIRONMENT: IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir states the campaign against Iran is approximately halfway complete, citing cumulative strategic impact across military and governmental systems. He notes Iran’s expanding missile reach, including a reported 4,000 km-range launch toward a US-linked base, placing additional European capitals within range, and confirms new operational plans have been approved for continued activity against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
