WANA (Apr 05) – Israeli media reported that a drone manufacturing facility in Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv, was completely destroyed following an Iranian missile strike.

 

According to the reports, the facility—used for producing various drones and components for the Israeli military—was hit on Thursday by a missile carrying a heavy warhead, leading to its total destruction.

 

The CEO of AeroSol stated that the extent of the damage is so severe that the factory will not be able to resume operations. He noted that the powerful explosion caused widespread destruction to infrastructure, production machinery, and administrative offices.

 

The incident occurred just two days after the company had been sold to a security firm in a deal worth approximately 35 million shekels.

 

Reports also indicate that the missile strike near the perimeter of the industrial site left a large crater, while the blast caused significant damage across different sections of the facility.
