They say 84 people were wounded in Arad and another 78 in Dimona, after ballistic missiles hit the towns on Saturday evening.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says it is not aware of any damage to the nuclear research facility located about 13km (eight miles) outside Dimona.

Iranian state TV earlier said the strikes were in response to an attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility on Saturday.

On Sunday, at least seven people were injured in an Iranian missile attack on Tel Aviv, emergency services say.
