AP: Iran Launches Missile Strike on Israel’s Dimona Nuclear Site

AP describes Iran’s strikes ‍on Zionist regime’s scientific centers as ‍devastating

According to a report by webangah News Agency, the Associated​ Press has detailed‍ Iran’s⁤ destructive ⁣missile attacks on occupied territories, ⁣particularly targeting⁤ the Zionist regime’s‌ scientific institutions.

The report states that⁤ for years, Israel has ⁤attempted to disrupt Iran’s nuclear program by ‌assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists and eliminating key intellectuals. now, following an Iranian missile strike on a prominent research institute known for its work in biological sciences, ⁣physics, and ⁤other‍ fields, Israeli scientists have also become targets in the escalating direct conflict between Iran and Israel.

While Sunday dawn’s attack on ⁤the ⁣Weizmann Institute of Science‌ caused no casualties, it inflicted heavy damage to multiple laboratories within the campus, ⁢destroyed years of scientific research, and sent a stark warning to Israeli scientists: their expertise now places them on the frontlines of intensifying tensions with Iran.

“This is ⁣a moral victory for ⁢iran,” said ‌Oren Schuldiner, ​professor of molecular cell biology and neuroscience‍ whose‍ lab‌ was‍ entirely destroyed in the attack.⁢ “They managed to damage Israel’s crown jewel-its science.”

Iranian Scientists:‍ Primary Targets​ in Long Shadow War

During years of shadow warfare preceding current ‌hostilities-where Israel repeatedly targeted iranian nuclear scientists-israel recently replicated this tactic by killing several nuclear scientists‌ alongside senior military commanders while striking‌ ballistic missile infrastructure.

Conversely,yoel Guzansky,a senior⁤ researcher at Tel Aviv’s Institute for National security studies⁤ (INSS),stated that ​Weizmann⁢ had long been “on Tehran’s radar.” While uncertain whether this ‌specific strike was intentional,Guzansky acknowledged⁤ its plausibility given Weizmann’s interdisciplinary military-linked research partnerships with firms like Elbit Systems-perhaps making it strategic target.

“The institute symbolizes Israeli scientific ⁤advancement,” ⁤emphasized Guzansky.”By attacking it,Iran sends clear message:‘You harm our scholars;we retaliate against yours.'”

Structural Devastation:‘Literally Nothing Remains’⁤

Founded 1934,named after Israel’s first ⁢president,the elite ⁤Weizmann Institute boasts Nobel/Turing laureates among researchers publishing hundreds annual studies.Israel debuted computer here(1954).Two buildings were hit-one housing biolabs;another under construction slated chemistry studies.Dozens sustained collateral damages.Campus ⁣remains closed post-attack though media toured Thursday observing:
– shattered windows/collapsed roofing panels
– Scorched walls ⁤amid debris fields
– Fire-damaged structures photographed⁣ via X(Twitter)
Sarel‍ Fleishman(biochemistry professor visiting site post-strike) ⁣confirmed:”Several labs⁤ are literally gone.Nothing left.”
