Breaking: Iranian Rocket Attacks in Israel, 23 Injured - Debunking School Building Rumors
Middle of Haifa under attack by Iranian missile; at least 23 casualties reported
In the wake of Iranian rocket attacks on Israel, a flurry of unconfirmed reports circulated about a potential school building hit. However, let's separate fact from fiction.
An attack in Israel left 23 people injured, with three in critical condition, according to Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom. A 16-year-old boy, two men, and a 51-year-old woman (who died after suffering a heart attack during a rocket alert in northern Israel) were among the injured.
Reports of a school building being struck are mere rumors. While university research buildings at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot sustained damage in the attacks around 3 a.m., no injuries were reported there[1][2]. The Weizmann Institute is indeed a university research campus, not a typical school building.
Other impacts included damage to residential apartment buildings, a major oil refinery in Haifa, and a hospital in Beersheba, but no direct hits on a conventional school were mentioned in the reports [1][3]. Israel also suspended educational activities as a precaution during the attacks[1].
Sadly, the incident in Haifa resulted in a 51-year-old woman's death. Reportedly, a mosque in the coastal city was also impacted, with clerics within sustaining injuries.
Take a moment to reflect — debunking misinformation is crucial during times of unrest. Stay informed, but critically so.
