Iran missile strike hits Israeli scientific hub linked to military

The Egyptian news outlet Masrawy examined the significance of the Zionist regime’s Weizmann Institute of Science on Sunday, stating: The Weizmann Institute, a prominent Israeli center, sustained significant damage in Iran’s recent missile attack. According to information published by The New York Times, at least one of its buildings, which houses several laboratories, caught fire.

Published images show that the fire reached one of the institute’s buildings, directly targeting Israel’s research infrastructure, amid escalating military tensions with Iran.

The Weizmann Institute is an advanced scientific center established in 1944, named after Chaim Weizmann, a prominent Zionist leader and the first president of the Zionist regime.

Officially opened in late 1949, the institute brought together a number of Zionist scientists and others to work there. It houses over 30 scientific laboratories, a large library, conference and meeting halls, and residential facilities for researchers and staff.

In addition to support from the Israeli cabinet, the Weizmann Institute receives extensive financial backing from Zionist institutions, organizations, and associations.

The Zionist institute operates in the fields of chemistry, industry, and medical supplies and holds a distinguished position in genetic research.

The Weizmann Institute places great emphasis on expanding educational methods in scientific fields and publishes educational books on mathematics, nature, physics, chemistry, and more.

Beyond its scientific activities, the institute plays a significant role in supporting the Zionist regime’s military, extensively contributing to military and advanced technology fields.

The most critical services provided by the institute to the Zionist regime’s military include: artificial intelligence services, surveillance and monitoring systems, analysis of extensive intelligence data, drone guidance, development of smart and semi-smart weapons, improvement of precision guidance and tracking systems, development of jamming technology and advanced electronic protection, research in nuclear technology and similar energy fields, protection of military codes, hacking enemy systems, production of medicines for soldiers in the battlefield, support for military satellite systems, development of precise navigation systems as alternatives to GPS, and provision of encrypted communications in hostile environments, among others.
