Iranian missile strike hits chemical factory in Israeli industrial zone
A chemical plant in southern Israel was struck by an Iranian missile on Sunday in a retaliatory attack following US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and industrial facilities.
Media reports indicate that the Ne'ot Hovav (also referred to as Ramat Hovav or Neot Hovav) industrial zone, located approximately 9–13 km south of Beersheba, was hit.
The strike caused a fire at the site, which houses multiple chemical manufacturing and industrial plants, including the ADAMA (Makhteshim) pesticides and crop protection facility.
Israeli emergency services reported one settler was wounded in the strike.
The occupying authorities asked settlers in the area to stay indoors and as the plant contains dangerous materials.
In recent days, the US and Israel have increasingly targeted Iranian nuclear sites and plants, industrial complexes, universities and civilian infrastructure across various parts of the country.
Continuous explosions has been reported at a chemical factory in the occupied Negev, which was targeted by Iranian missiles.

The United States and the Israeli regime launched the unprovoked war on February 28, while negotiations were still ongoing between Tehran and Washington. Iran has responded by attacking US and Israeli assets across the region.
In a report on Saturday, The Wall Street Journal revealed that Arab Persian Gulf nations—including the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain—are seeking additional air defense support amid Iran’s relentless retaliatory strikes on US military bases stationed on their soil.
Israel has also begun rationing its most advanced missile interceptors to prevent a total collapse of its defense stockpiles, the report said.
