Iran says ‘no radiation danger’ after hit on reactor, while Israel says 28 injured in strikes across the country
Live coverage: hospital in southern Israel hit by missile
Israel attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor on Thursday morning, as Iranian missiles evaded Israeli air defences to hit a hospital in the country’s south and sites around Tel Aviv.
Iran had evacuated the Arak facility before the attack and there was “no radiation danger”, state TV said in a report on the bombing.
Israel authorities reported 28 people had been injured in the attacks across the country, three of them seriously. Israeli police ordered people to stay away from the hospital because of the risk of hazardous materials leaking from damaged wards.
