SAEDNEWS: In a rare and highly symbolic strike, Iran has reportedly hit one of Israel’s most sensitive military sites — a classified bioweapons facility south of Tel Aviv — sparking fears of a chemical leak. The regime has yet to comment. (Saed News)
According to Saed News, In a dramatic escalation following the recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the Islamic Republic of Iran has reportedly launched a missile attack on what is believed to be a highly sensitive biological research center operated by Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
According to Saed News, the facility is located in Ness Ziona, a small city just south of Rishon LeZion and approximately 20 kilometers from Tel Aviv. The site is known to house one of Israel’s most confidential laboratories under the auspices of the Israel Institute for Biological Research — a complex that plays a key role in the country's chemical and biological warfare capabilities.
The missile strike is said to have caused direct damage to laboratory storage units, with growing concern on Hebrew-language social media platforms about the possible leakage of hazardous materials. No official statement has yet been made by Israeli authorities regarding the extent of the damage or the presence of casualties.
The Ness Ziona institute has long been suspected of conducting classified research into biological agents, and is often linked to Israel's strategic deterrent posture in unconventional warfare. It is reportedly under the direct supervision of Israel’s Ministry of Defense and is believed to operate with extreme secrecy, even within Israeli scientific circles.
Hebrew sources cited by Saed News claimed that several high-ranking scientists may have been present at the time of the strike and could have been among the targets. These reports remain unverified.
If confirmed, this would mark one of the most strategically symbolic attacks by Iran in the history of regional hostilities — targeting not only a military asset, but a core component of Israel’s WMD infrastructure. The timing of the strike — coming just days after the United States attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities — underscores the widening scope of regional escalation.
Experts warn that the international community could face a new set of dangers should the strike have triggered any form of contamination or environmental fallout.
