A powerful explosion took place on Tuesday at a sensitive defense factory during a test in the Zionist entity, Israeli media reported

Haaretz Israeli daily said the explosion occurred during a routine test at the Tomer factory for advanced weapons in the Zionist entity’s center, which houses various types of missiles.

The daily cited Ramle locals as saying that they heard an explosion and saw a mushroom cloud, with some filming it.

“Officials may have underestimated the collateral damage of the test, which led to the explosion,” Haaretz said.

In response to the blast, Tomer said, “this was a controlled test with no exceptional circumstances.”

Tomer’s offices are located in Ramle, and in proximity to residential areas. The company manufactures missiles for use by the Israeli occupation military and other Israeli defense systems. They are the manufacturers behind Israeli Arrow 4 ballistic missile system.
