An Iranian ballistic missile struck a chemical plant at the Ne'ot Hovav industrial zone — Israel's largest chemical industrial park in the Negev desert — on March 29, injuring one person and raising fears of a hazardous material leak. The zone hosts facilities operated by several major Israeli chemical manufacturers including ICL and others. Authorities deployed emergency hazmat teams. The strike mirrors Iran's earlier pattern of targeting Israeli industrial and economic infrastructure. No mass-casualty hazmat event was confirmed, but the strike raised concerns about the vulnerability of Israel's chemical production base to Iranian BM salvos.
