In the last 2 days, iran attacked the Israeli stock exchange building and a hospital. But now information has been released about the attack on the college that was considered a repository of knowledge in israel last Sunday. In this attack, iran targeted Israeli scientific researchers in an attempt to suppress their expertise. This incident highlights how scientists and researchers have become key targets in the conflict between the two countries. israel has carried out a similar operation by targeting Iranian nuclear experts.
In the early hours of june 15, 2025, a missile launched by iran attacked the Weizmann Institute of Science, a government research college located in the city of Rehovot, Israel. Although there were no casualties in the attack, two buildings containing the Life Sciences and Chemistry laboratories were severely damaged. Not only this but more than 6 other college buildings were also affected. This attack destroyed many years of research and valuable research samples conducted at the college, causing a huge loss to the scientific progress of Israel.

A shadow war is an attack that is carried out secretly without direct military conflict between two countries. In this shadow war that has been going on between israel and iran for many years, israel has been carrying out secret attacks targeting Iranian scientific researchers with the aim of preventing Iran's nuclear weapons program. For example, israel assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists in an attempt to stop the country's nuclear weapons development. In retaliation, iran is believed to have launched a missile attack on Israel's main state research science institute, the Weizmann Institute. The attack is seen as a response to Israel's covert war attacks.

Founded in 1934, the Weizmann Institute of Science is named after Israel's first president, Chaim Weizmann. It is ranked as one of the world's top research institutes. The institute conducts pioneering research in the fields of biology, physics, and chemistry. Its achievements include a Nobel prize (in Chemistry) and three Turing Awards for research conducted at the college. In addition, the institute created Israel's first computer in 1954.
