Panic spread across southern Israel after an Iranian missile struck a chemical facility in the Neot Hovav industrial zone near Beersheba. Thick smoke filled the sky as emergency crews rushed to contain the fire and residents were told to stay indoors amid fears of a hazardous leak.
Authorities later confirmed no dangerous materials were released, but the attack highlights a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict. Iran has warned it will target Israeli infrastructure in response to strikes on its own strategic assets, and regions like the Negev, Dimona, and Beer Sheva are increasingly in the crosshairs.
As missiles continue to hit multiple locations, concerns are growing about the risks to civilians and the potential for even more dangerous incidents.
