JERUSALEM, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Iranian missile strikes wounded roughly 200 people on Saturday in southern Israel after air defense systems failed to intercept projectiles that hit the cities of Arad and Dimona, near nuclear facilities.
The attacks are intensifying pressure on Israel's air defense capabilities, as Iranian strikes increasingly test the limits of the country's protective systems.
