Iranian missiles struck the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, causing an estimated $500 million in damage and destroying decades of research in various scientific fields. Miraculously, no one was injured, but researchers are devastated by the loss of irreplaceable samples and equipment. The attack impacted two research buildings, laboratories, and student housing, forcing evacuations. Despite the setback, the Institute's president and researchers are determined to rebuild and continue their vital work.
