Dimona municipality evacuates residents after Iranian strike near nuclear site

Authorities in the southern Israeli city of Dimona said 485 people were evacuated after an Iranian missile strike in the area.

The mayor said the evacuations were carried out as a precaution following the attack, Israeli media reported.
