Missile strikes by Iran on southern Israel left widespread damage in Dimona, often called “Little India” due to its large Indian-origin community. A powerful strike hit a community building, injuring at least 47 people and damaging surrounding homes. A 12-year-old boy remains in serious condition after shrapnel injuries, while several others suffered minor wounds and panic-related trauma. Emergency responders reported scenes of chaos, with fires, shattered structures, and debris across streets. Dimona, which houses Israel’s nuclear research facility, is known for its deep-rooted Indian-Jewish heritage, with many residents tracing their origins to Maharashtra and maintaining strong cultural connections with India.
