6 Israeli university labs wrecked by Iranian missile attack last week: report

Six research facilities at Ben Gurion University in Beersheba were wrecked by Iranian missile impacts on June 19, Al Jazeera reports citing The Times of Israel.

The university said the attack — the same that caused damage to the nearby Soroka Hospital — “wiped out years of work on diverse research projects in medicine and biology” and estimated the cost of the damage could be tens of millions of dollars.

Residences housing nearly 100 students, faculty, and staff were also hit, and dozens were forced to evacuate, according to the report.
