Some 20 people are injured, mostly lightly, by the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Dimona, Magen David Adom says.

The missile directly struck a building in the southern city, according to rescue services.

MDA says it is treating a 10-year-old boy in moderate condition who was hit by shrapnel.

Some 20 others were injured by shrapnel, hurt after falling over while running to shelter, or suffering acute anxiety, MDA adds.
