According to Marker, “A daily business newspaper published by Haaretz Group in Israel “As reported by Lebanese Al Mayadeen, several buildings within the laboratory maintained a direct hit, and one important laboratory complex was completely destroyed in the fire.
Target sites have advanced research in life sciences, artificial intelligence, and molecular biology, and have directly supported the development of surveillance, targets and weapons systems where Israeli entities are used in regional attacks.
Written by Israeli media as “Israel’s “scientific and military brain,” Wiseman Institute has played a pivotal role in the research and development of airstrike systems, drone warfare capabilities, and technology that underpins battlefield medical technology.
One of the disrupted laboratories was run by Israeli professor Eldad Tzahal, a veteran of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology. The AI Lab was also directly attacked, Israeli Professor Elancegal pointed out that millions of dollars worth of equipment have been damaged beyond recovery due to water and structural damage. Segal’s lab reportedly contributed to the tools that helped Israeli groups strike in Gaza and elsewhere, the algorithmic system used for battlefield decision-making and real-time surveillance.
Photos released by Israeli media showed burnt interiors, collapse of lab floors, destruction of destroyed electrical systems and structural devastation, the result of a source called precision strike.
Israeli officials have downplayed the meaning, but Marker admitted that the strike is “not random” but a calculated attack on facilities used for military force through scientific research.
Media reports also framed the operation as a direct recall for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.
Experts say the institute’s deep ties with Israeli security devices have become a legitimate military target in Iran’s eyes, especially given its support for advanced weapons technology used to target civilians.
Israeli Professor Sharel Fleishman, whose lab was unaffected, admitted that the loss was irreplaceable. “The Life Science Lab relies on materials that have been collected and stored for many years. The lab has been destroyed and all of those materials are irreplaceable,” he said.
Another Israeli researcher, Professor Oren Schuldiner, told Marker: “It’s as if the lab had evaporated into thin air,” Shuldiner noted that it would take at least two years to rebuild the affected lab and its capabilities.
According to analysts, the destruction of the Wiseman Institute sends a clear message from Tehran. The institutions of Israeli occupation cannot continue to serve as disclaimers of their dual roles as research centres and military enablers.
