Tehran - Saba:
The American Associated Press described Iran's attacks on the Weizmann Center, the jewel and center for the advancement of Israeli science, as devastating.
The Associated Press covered in a report the devastating Iranian missile attacks on the occupied territories, particularly on scientific centers affiliated with the Zionist entity, according to the Iranian Mehr News Agency.
The report indicates that "Israel" has sought for years to disrupt the Iranian nuclear program by assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists and eliminating the masterminds... After an Iranian missile struck a leading research institute known for its research in life sciences, physics, and other fields, Israeli scientists became the target of a direct and large-scale conflict between Iran and "Israel".
The report adds: "Although the attack on the Weizmann Institute of Science did not result in any casualties, it caused extensive damage to several laboratories on campus. It also destroyed years of scientific research and sent a warning message to Israeli scientists that they and their expertise are now on the front lines of an escalating conflict with Iran."
Although the Weizmann Institute is a multidisciplinary research institute, like other universities in the occupied territories, it has ties to the Israeli military establishment. This includes collaborations with leading companies such as Elbit Systems, which may have been the reason for its targeting.
Founded in 1934 and later named after the first president of Israel, the Weizmann Institute is one of the most prominent research institutions in the occupying power. Its scientists and researchers publish hundreds of studies annually. A Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry and three Turing Award winners have been associated with the institute. The first Israeli computer was also built there in 1954.
According to the institute, two buildings were damaged in the attack. One housed life sciences laboratories, and the second, which was empty and under construction, was to be used for chemistry studies. Dozens of other buildings were also damaged.
The campus has also been closed since the attack. Although the media was allowed to visit on Thursday, large piles of rock, crushed metal, and other debris were scattered throughout the campus. Shattered windows, collapsed ceilings, and charred walls were visible.
