#pt: Some sources say a rocket or missile may have been intercepted near #Dimona, #Israel.
Others say residences near the area shook during the explosion.

Security sources in #Israel seem unanimous that no rockets crossed from #Gaza, so all eyes on the #Syria border.
Claims of a Patriot interception would suggest a larger-than-normal projectile, so suspicion may fall onto #Iran — #Dimona is home to #Israel’s nuclear facility.

Suffice to say, if #Iran or an #IRGC proxy launched any kind of missile at/towards #Dimona & #Israel’s nuclear facility, #Netanyahu will almost certainly find no other option but to hit back v hard.
Amid “progress” on indirect US-#Iran talks, this would throw a *huge* curveball.

NEW - sources say an #Israel airstrike has hit #Iran-linked weapons stores in #Deraa, #Syria — shortly after explosions were reported near #Dimona, #Israel.

UPDATE - judging by latest reporting, it sounds possible that the projectile intercepted near #Dimona was actually a #Syria surface-to-air missile fired in response to #IAF strikes in southern #Syria. The SAM (as always) missed any #IAF aircraft & flew cross-border into #Israel.
Now coordinated messaging from #Damascus & #Jerusalem both claiming a SAM was fired into #Syrian airspace that then traversed into #Israel — unintentionally traveling towards #Dimona.
Meanwhile, #IRGC channels (speaking to their audience) claim a purposeful attack took place.

In #Damascus now, @MEI_Syria's @Dannymakkisyria says he didn't hear any sign of IAF strikes in #Syria *before* the SAM was supposedly fired at aircraft & then traveled towards #Israel -- "only retaliatory strikes later."
