Tomer Says Rocket Factory Blast Was Controlled Test at Missile Site Near Ramle
5 articles · Updated · Times Now · May 16
A powerful explosion sent fire and black smoke above Tomer’s government-owned facility near Ramle, with videos showing a large fireball and shockwave visible from miles away.
Tomer said the blast was a scheduled, controlled propulsion-system test at the site and that there were no irregular incidents, injuries or damage to surrounding areas.
The factory makes rocket and missile motors for key Israeli systems including the Arrow air-defense program, making any incident there highly sensitive.
The timing fueled online speculation because the blast hit a strategic defense site, though Israeli authorities said there was no security breach or external involvement.
Was the blast at Israel's missile facility a routine test or a cleverly disguised attack on its defense production?
Is Israel’s accelerated missile production a show of force, or a sign its advanced air defenses are nearing their breaking point?
