Powerful Explosion Rocks Missile Testing Site in Israel

On Wednesday, a powerful explosion rocked a missile testing site in the center of Israel, causing no injuries or damage, in what the defense contractor called a “controlled test.”

The explosion sent up a massive plume of fire and smoke outside the central Israeli town of Ramle, which could be seen from miles away.

The Tomer company, which was testing the missile engine said the incident was part of the drill that proceeded according to the plane.

Videos of the blast were widely shared on social media, prompting speculation that it was the result of a malfunction or sabotage, especially in light of ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran.

Indeed, the explosion at the sensitive military site was featured prominently in Iranian media, which insinuated that it may have been a form of retaliation by Tehran for the recent blast at its Natanz nuclear facility that has been widely attributed to Israel.
