'Entering New Phase Of Battle': Iran On Israel Unable To Intercept Missiles In Highly Protected Dimona
Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qualibaf on Sunday, March 22, said that the war is entering a new phase as Iranian missiles penetrated into the Dimona nuclear facility in Israel, causing extensive damage in the area.
If Israel is unable to intercept missiles in the highly protected area of Dimona, which houses the Jewish nation’s most coveted nuclear facility, it is, in operational terms, a sign of entering a new phase of the battle, the Iranian parliamentary speaker said.
The Iranian strikes across Dimona and Arad made significant impacts in Israel, injuring over 100 people, with many in critical condition. The attack has caused considerable damages to the buildings and infrastructure near the Israel nuclear facility.
The Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, which was hit by Iran, is believed to be key to Israel’s long-suspected nuclear weapons program, the existence of which the Jewish nation either confirms nor denies as a matter of policy.
Notably, the much-bragged about Israeli air defenses failed to intercept the ballistic missiles. According to Israeli military spokesman, the country’s air defence systems were activated during the attacks, but failed to intercept some of the missiles, sparking concerns regarding the safety of people.
