BREAKING: Explosions Heard As Air Raid Sirens Sound Off In Israel Near Nuclear Reactor

Multiple news reports surfaced during the early morning hours on Thursday inside Israel saying that large explosions have been heard inside the nation and that air raid sirens have sounded off near Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility in the southern Israeli district of Abu Qrenat.

“Abu Qrenat is deeper within Israeli territory than the usual range of the rockets of Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip,” Reuters reported. “Israeli media have said for weeks that air defenses in the area of Dimona and the Red Sea port Eilat were being beefed up in anticipation of a possible long-range missile or drone attack by Iranian-backed forces – perhaps from as far away as Yemen.”

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that a surface-to-air missile was fired from Syria to Israel’s southern Negev region, which is a desert. “In response, we struck the battery from which the missile was launched and additional surface-to-air batteries in Syria,” the IDF said. Abu Qrenat is located inside Negev.
