In fact, Hamas made similar attempts to attack the Dimona complex in 2012, as did Iraq in 1991, with the aim of releasing the site’s contents to inflict radiological damage on Israel’s population. (The perpetrators appeared clueless to the fact that certain weather conditions would have concentrated the radioactive debris in the Palestinian-majority West Bank.)
其实，哈马斯早在2012年就曾对迪莫纳反应堆发动过类似的袭击，1991年伊拉克也进行过同样的努力，目的是释放该反应堆内容物，从而对以色列民众造成辐射。（肇事者似乎完全不清楚特定天气条件会使放射性碎片集中在以巴勒斯坦人为主的约旦河西岸地区。）
