President Isaac Herzog visits Iranian missile attack site at the Weizmann Institute
President Isaac Herzog today, (Tuesday, 17 June 2025), visited the site of the Iranian missile attack on the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot.
The Weizmann Institute is one of Israel—and the world's—leading science and research institutions on the cutting edge of medical advances.
President Herzog said: "For almost 100 years, the Weizmann Institute of Science—one of the great life ventures of the first President of Israel, Professor Chaim Weizmann—has advanced science, advanced humanities has advanced the development of humanity at large and universal values. And the Iranians, with their cruel missiles launched at civilian populations, have targeted also the Weizman Institute of Science, so they did hurt buildings on campus, but I must tell you the noises you hear are of those coming already to repair and rebuild and research and change the world for the better."
He stressed, "Iran will try havoc, death, destruction. We will continue promoting life, liberties, civil liberties, and, of course, democracy and the plight for peace as we believe in."
