Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones deep into the Israeli-occupied territories overnight, striking multiple targets across Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, and Rishon LeZion. The most significant among these was a direct hit on the Weizmann Institute of Science, one of "Israel's" most strategic research centers and a cornerstone of its military-industrial complex.

Israeli media cited Israeli settlers expressing their "fear, chaos, and confusion" as several Iranian missiles struck buildings in central occupied Palestine overnight, causing widespread destruction.

Michael David, who leads the Home Front’s Tel Aviv command, told Ynet that "This is an event of an unprecedented magnitude."

Massive destruction across Tel Aviv,  Bat Yam, and Rishon LeZion

In 'Bat Yam' alone, Mayor Tzvika Brot confirmed that 61 buildings were damaged, with six set to be demolished due to structural collapse.

What "Israel" exported for years, destruction, terror, and displacement, has finally fired back.

Iran avenges assassinated scientists

According to the New York Times, satellite images obtained by the publication confirm that the Weizmann Science Institute sustained damage during Iran's strikes, adding weight to Iranian reports of successful targeting. 

Moreover, CCTV cameras documented the impact of the Iranian missile on the institute. Israeli media also reported that a building housing laboratories for the institute had caught on fire, leaving people stuck in the building.

Iran has carried out a strike on the Weizmann Institute of Science, located in the city of Rehovot, southeast of Tel Aviv. The operation is said to be in retaliation for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, according to reports by the Fars news agency.

The Weizmann Institute is regarded as one of the most prominent scientific centers in "Israel". Its involvement in advanced scientific and security-related research and weapons production may have positioned it as a target in Tehran's strategic calculations.

It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation army has forbidden the publication of impact sites and videos from the missile strikes, claiming that "the enemy monitors the footage to improve its attack capabilities." This censorship has only fueled speculation about the scale of the destruction and number of casualties.

The Iranian response came after Israeli warplanes struck a residential block in Tehran, killing 60 civilians, including 20 children, according to Iranian state media. In the face of such massacres, Iran’s retaliatory strike carried not only military weight but moral clarity, a message that the era of unpunished Zionist aggression is over.
