Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he would personally pursue senior commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards during a visit to a town hit by an Iranian missile a day earlier.

“We’re going after the regime. We’re going after the IRGC, this criminal gang,” Netanyahu said while surveying damage in the southern Israeli town of Arad.

“We’re going after them personally, their leaders, their installations, their economic assets. We’re going after them personally,” he said at the site of the missile hit in Arad.

The second town struck on Saturday was Dimona, widely believed to host Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal. Located in the Negev Desert, Dimona suffered significant destruction following a direct hit.

Netanyahu later visited the town, urging residents to follow instructions from the military’s Home Front Command and take immediate shelter whenever sirens warn of incoming missiles.

Iranian missile strikes on the two southern towns injured more than 100 people on Saturday, medics said, after Israeli air defence systems failed to intercept the projectiles. The direct hits ripped through residential buildings, leaving large craters in the ground.

Israel’s Magen David Adom said 84 people were wounded in Arad, 10 of them seriously, hours after 33 were injured in nearby Dimona.

Iranian state television said the strike on Dimona, which houses a nuclear facility, was a “response” to an earlier attack on its own nuclear site at Natanz.
