The attack on the Weizmann Institute took place in the context of the open conflict between Israel and Iran, severely damaging laboratories and research equipment. Although there were no casualties, the destruction affected the researchers' life's work and financial losses are estimated at millions of dollars. The institute, renowned for its scientific contributions, symbolizes Israeli scientific progress, and the attack underscores the intensifying shadow war between the two countries. Researchers now face the challenge of rebuilding the destroyed labs.
