"Rocket Attack Targets Israeli Nuclear Missile Program Base"

A rocket fired by Hamas militants during an attack on Israel on October 7 hit the Sdot Micha military base, where Israel's nuclear-capable missiles are believed to be stored. While the missiles themselves were not hit, the rocket caused a fire that approached missile storage facilities and other sensitive weaponry. The attack on Sdot Micha is the first known instance of Palestinian militants targeting a site suspected of containing Israeli nuclear weapons. The rocket attack highlights the vulnerability of Israel's closely guarded strategic weapons and raises concerns about the potential risks associated with fires near volatile fuel and munition depots.
