An Iranian missile struck Israel’s prestigious Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot early June 20, 2025, severely damaging two buildings and multiple laboratories—destroying years of vital research—though miraculously, no casualties were reported . Known as Israel’s “crown jewel of science,” the institute leads global research in life sciences, physics, and chemistry. Analysts view the strike as a chilling message that scientific infrastructure is now a legitimate military target, echoing Iran’s past covert efforts against Israeli researchers . The attack deepens the Israel–Iran conflict, expanding it from conventional military targets to the intellectual heart of a nation. (PC: The Economic Times)
