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.
The BBC reported that Iran is targeting key institutions of Washington-allied countries, including the United States and Israel, in the region. Israel has not denied conducting strikes on Iranian military missile bases and arms manufacturing centers.
Iran confirmed destroying American military jets in an attack it carried out in Saudi Arabia last week.
