Iran launched a missile attack on an industrial center in southern Israel on Megabit 20, 2018 EC. Israel's military has confirmed the strike.
Tehran stated that the missile hit caused a fire at a chemical production factory within the center. Israel's national fire and rescue service is working intensively to extinguish the fire at the factory and in surrounding high-risk areas. Workers and residents in the area have been evacuated to safe locations.
