Iranian missile strikes Israel's 'crown jewel of science'
For years, Israel has assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists, hoping to stifle the progress of the Iranian nuclear program by hitting the brain behind. Now, with Iran and Israel in an open direct conflict, scientists in Israel found themselves in the reticle after Iranian missile struck a first research institute. Although nobody was killed in the strike of the Weizmann Institute of Sciences early on Sunday, this caused heavy damage to several laboratories on the campus, stifling years of scientific research and sending a scary message to Israeli scientists that they and their expertise are now targets in the climbing of conflicts with Iran.
