Iran’s Missiles Strike Israeli Military-Scientific Hub — Weizmann Institute Left in Ruins

from Sputnik News:

Iran’s June 15 missile strike targeted the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot — one of Israel’s key military-linked research centers — causing extensive damage across the campus, Mehr News Agency reported.

According to Channel 13, the institute’s president Alon Chen confirmed that Iranian missiles struck with “extreme precision,” contradicting earlier Israeli claims of minimal damage. Estimated losses range from $300 million to $570 million, with around 90% of the campus affected.

Key damage includes:

A newly built chemistry lab destroyed before opening

Fires in life sciences facilities and loss of critical research data

Total destruction of a cardiac regeneration lab housing 22 years of work

Disruption to over 45 research groups and shared scientific infrastructure

Though often presented as a civilian institution, the Weizmann Institute maintains documented ties to Israel’s defense sector, including joint projects with arms manufacturer Elbit Systems and contributions to AI, drone warfare, and military surveillance systems. It has also played a historical role in Israel’s nuclear program.

During the 1948 conflict, the institute reportedly supported Zionist militias by developing weapons and explosives — a legacy some say continues in its military partnerships today.
