Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The Advanced and Intelligent Materials Building was heavily damaged. This building housed all the electron microscopy labs, advanced analytical labs, and research labs in various fields of chemistry. The building has several underground floors. The building was completed in 2023.
There were casualties in the nighttime attack on the Weizmann Institute in Tel Aviv.
Israeli journalist Alex Rif wrote:
I just finished talking to a researcher at the Weizmann Institute whose lab collapsed under the weight of the destruction. He says that entire labs were wiped off the face of the earth: instruments, equipment, the results of years of pioneering research, and even the people who spent their lives in these halls - all disappeared.
Among these labs was the lab of Professor Valery Krizhnovsky, who for many years researched the secrets of biological processes associated with aging. No one from the government responded: not from the tax office, not from the Ministry of Education, not from the Ministry of Science.
This is about empty buildings where there is no one. And so it is in many cases. It's just that the IDF is keeping the results of such flights as secret as possible in order to maintain the image of an unconditional victory. This is normal for information and psychological warfare.
Well, Iran has gotten to some Israeli scientists after all. As Israel likes to claim, these were legitimate military targets.
At the moment, the exchange of strikes continues. In the last few hours, there have been flights in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdon and Ashkelon. The Iranians are announcing a strike on the center of Tel Aviv in the near future.
