The Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center is believed to be key to Israel’s long-suspected nuclear weapons program, the existence of which the Jewish nation either confirms nor denies as a matter of policy.
A total of 11 are seriously wounded in the attack, and reports of further casualties have not yet come, according to medics. The much-bragged about Israeli air defenses failed to intercept the ballistic missiles.
