Iranian Missiles Hit Negev Chemical Complex for Third Time

Authorities said 34 firefighting crews contained the blaze and kept the public 800 meters away because hazardous materials were stored at the site.

  • On Sunday, an Iranian missile struck the Makhteshim plant in the Ne'ot Hovav industrial zone, triggering a fire that Israel's Environmental Protection Ministry is investigating for potential hazardous leaks.
  • The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported striking two aluminum plants—Emirates Global Aluminum in the UAE and Aluminum Bahrain in Bahrain—within the past 24 hours, signaling broader regional escalation.
  • "For safety reasons, a hazardous chemical event has been declared, and all workers of the factories have been instructed to remain in safe spaces," the Industrial Council of Ne'ot Hovav stated.
  • Following the hazardous chemical declaration, firefighters contained the contamination risk to within 800 meters; authorities blocked Highway 40 and evacuated the Makhteshim plant.
  • Ne'ot Hovav hosts more than 14 large factories, making it a critical industrial hub; the Israeli military confirmed interception of multiple Iranian missile waves on the same day.
