President Herzog Visits the Missile Impact Site in Dimona

President Herzog: “If you see that Iran launched a 4,000-kilometer missile, 2,500 miles, to Diego Garcia, you understand what President Trump said that there’s a threat to the U.S. and its security interests.”

On March 22, 2026, President Isaac Herzog visited the scene of the overnight missile attack on the city of Dimona in southern Israel.

President Isaac Herzog:

“We’re here in Dimona to express solidarity. When you look around, you see institutions that were meant to help people: a kindergarten, a hostel for people with special needs, and of course, an incredible neighborhood, which was demolished last night, but luckily nobody lost their life.

“I want to say to say to our enemies out there in Iran: you are mistaken. You keep on carrying out crimes against humanity by sending missiles to kill human beings, not differentiating between anything—age and gender, religion, or even the disabilities that they may have. You are wrong. We have always shown strong resilience. We know that your leadership is in havoc and disarray, and we are sure, absolutely adamantly sure, that not only shall we overcome, but you will fall flat on your face.

“If you see that Iran launched a 4,000-kilometer missile, 2,500 miles, to Diego Garcia, you understand what President Trump said that there’s a threat to the United States and its security interest is clear.

“Obviously, this empire of evil has no limitations, and that is why this war is so vital and crucial for the future of the world. We are from here, protecting Europe and protecting the free world.
