Major Israeli research institute loses around 45 labs to Iranian missile strike causing an estimated damages of $500 million

When barbaric Islamist theocracies/dictatorships are allowed to exist since 1979 then human progress and civilization suffers!

I have been following the research of the Weizmann Institute for several years.

"The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel – a prominent research institution that is home to about 2500 scientists, students, technicians and scientific support staff – was devastated by Iranian missiles on 15 June. ...

Milko van der Boom, dean of the Weizmann Institute’s faculty of chemistry, says around 45 labs sustained serious damage. ‘In my faculty, about 100 people don’t have a lab or a desk anymore, and for the whole campus that’s probably 400 or 500 people,’ van der Boom tells Chemistry World. ‘We don’t know the full damage yet, but probably it will cost more than $500 million (£372 million) and maybe close to a billion dollars to address across campus.’ ..."
