Dimona דימונה
Town in the Negev founded in 1955 and settled mainly by immigrants from North Africa. Nearby is the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, built from the late 1950s with French help under Shimon Peres. Israel has never confirmed or denied having nuclear weapons, a policy known as ambiguity. Dimona is also home to the African Hebrew Israelites community.Continue ▸
