One of the key targets of Iranian Operation True Promise III was the Weizmann Institute of Science, which was not fully operational by Iranian missiles launched in response to Israel’s war of attacks on the Islamic Republic. The Institute is a major research center closely linked to the Israeli military, particularly in the development of advanced technology.
More than a month after Iran’s retaliatory missile strike against the Israeli regime, reactions among Israeli politicians continue.
Meirav Cohen, a former minister and current member of the Knesset, visited the ruins of the Weizmann Institute and described the strike as intentional and strategic.
“The Iranian missiles that struck the Wiseman Institute were no coincidence,” she wrote on social media. “Iran targeted the heartbeat of Israeli technology and knew exactly why.”
She added that the institute is not just an academic center, but “the birthplace of nearly 19,000 registered inventions, 135 startups and top-tier technology,” and is home to Nobel, Turing and Wolf Prize winners.
