"Closely monitoring the situation, Director General @RafaelMGrossi stressed that "maximum military restraint should be observed, in particular in the vicinity of nuclear facilities".
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Spokesperson : in a statement confirming the strikes said, "We could have struck the Dimona nuclear plant if we wanted to. This was a warning shot. If our nuclear facilities are attacked again, Dimona will be destroyed."
Israeli foreign ministry in a statement said the Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism."
More than forty has been confirmed killed in the incident.
According to the reports by Times Of Israel: "Over 100 people were injured by Iranian strikes in the southern cities of Dimona and Arad on Saturday, 11 of them seriously, medics said, after Israeli air defenses failed to intercept at least two ballistic missiles."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike a very difficult evening in the campaign for the country's future.
Netanyahu said Israel is determined to continue the war against Iran despite the devastated strikes ravaging the country by Iran's ballistic missiles.
Israel’s Home Front Command has closed schools and banned gatherings of over 50 in the south until Tuesday after Iranian missile strikes on Dimona, Kan reports.

Israel announces 'new wave of strikes' as conflict escalates
There was a report of '3 or 4 heavy bombs' heard near Mount Damavand & Pardis, Tehran province
In another response to Trump's further threats, Iran warns it will target US and Israel‑linked energy and IT infrastructure, along with desalination plants in the region if its power plants are hit, following Trump’s threat to strike Iranian plants over the Strait of Hormuz.
American President Donald Trump had said if Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST…”
Meanwhile, Iran has denied targeting the UK’s military base on Diego Garcia, with a senior official telling Al Jazeera it was not behind the missile attack.
The base is being used by the US for “defensive operations” in its war with Iran. The war against Iran by US and Israel have been variously condemned as an unprovoked aggression against Tehran.
