We are talking about the attack on October 7th. The nuclear weapons were probably not damaged, although the missile attack started a fire in the nearby area.
The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, during the attack on Israel on October 7, attacked the Sdot Micha military base 42 km from Jerusalem, where Israel’s nuclear weapons are allegedly stored, which there is a rocket. The New York Times reported it.
Hans Christensen, director of the Federation of American Scientists’ Nuclear Information Project, said the site could house between 25 and 50 Israeli Jericho nuclear weapons launchers. However, the nuclear weapons were probably not damaged, although the missile attack started a fire in the nearby area.
“These warheads are probably stored in a separate location a little further from the base, so they are not at risk during an attack,” the expert said.
This is the first known instance of an attack by Israel’s adversaries on a site where Tel Aviv’s nuclear weapons may be located. Whether the strike was an accident or if Hamas knew exactly where to go is still unknown.
Recall that the Palestinian radical group Hamas, based in the Gaza Strip, attacked Israel. In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched a military operation against Hamas. The number of victims of the attack in Israel reached 1,400 people, in Gaza they say more than 11,000 died.
As reported, Israel is expanding its ground operations throughout the Gaza Strip. The IDF says its operations in southern Gaza are not much stronger than those in the north.
