Israel-Iran live: Israeli hospital suffers ‘direct hit’ as IDF strikes Iranian nuclear reactor | World News

Israel has attacked an Iranian heavy water reactor after demanding that people nearby evacuate, state media and broadcasters say.

The Israeli military said it targeted the Arak heavy water reactor facility, which is roughly 400km west of Tehran, in the west of the country.

Iranian officials said the facility was not properly evacuated by the time of the attack, ISNA agency reports.

There were some conflicting reports, with others saying everyone had got out ahead of the strikes.

It marks the latest in the Israeli efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

But reports said there was “no radiation danger whatsoever”.

Earlier this morning, Israel warned it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee.
