<\/p>

\r\n\tOn the night of March 21, 2026, the city of Arad, in southern Israel, was directly hit by an Iranian ballistic missile, amidst a wave of attacks that also impacted neighboring Dimona<\/strong><\/p>

The projectile, equipped with a conventional warhead containing hundreds of kilograms of explosives, exploded among residential buildings, causing significant destruction and transforming a tranquil area into a scene of chaos and emergency.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nRescue teams from Magen David Adom (the Israeli equivalent of the emergency service) immediately rushed to the scene.<\/p>

\r\nNumerous injuries were reported: a total of 71 people suffered physical injuries, of which 10 were serious, 13 moderate, and 48 minor.<\/p>

\r\nIn addition, four individuals required treatment for acute anxiety.<\/p>

\r\nAmong the most serious cases was that of a 5-year-old girl who fought for her life after being injured by the aftermath of the explosion.<\/p>

\r\nAll the injured were quickly taken to hospitals, with some transferred to medical centers in the center of the country to receive specialized care.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe Israeli health system went into full emergency mode, coordinating regulated evacuations between hospitals to ensure high-quality care despite the volume of victims.<\/p>

\r\nMedical and rescue teams worked tirelessly under difficult conditions, while the National Resilience Center mobilized to support the mayors of Arad and Dimona, as well as preparing psychological support for the affected population, including those sheltered in hotels in the Dead Sea region.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe police, led by Commissioner Danny Levy, stated that no one was reported missing, but searches in the rubble continued for hours, using technological equipment and manual efforts to ensure that no victims were buried or forgotten.<\/p>

\r\nMeanwhile, the Home Front Command reinforced restrictions throughout the south of the country: public gatherings limited to 50 people (with mandatory access to shelters), workplaces operating only with adequate protection, and cancellation of educational activities in the region.<\/p>

\r\nSchools across the country were closed on Sunday and the following Monday.\r\n<\/p>
