A fragment from an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile struck the Adama Agricultural Solutions factory at the Neot Hovav Industrial Zone in the northern Negev on Sunday.
According to an official statement by Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd., no factory employees were hurt in the incident.
That being said, the scope of the damage to the structure and production facilities is currently unknown, and they are being inspected by the company's technical teams.
Due to the fallen projectile, a large fire broke out at the facility, and firefighting teams were called to handle the incident, which is defined as a hazardous materials (hazmat) incident.
Three dedicated hazmat crews and monitoring forces from the Beer Sheva station are working at the leak sites at the damaged plant to contain and seal damaged tanks.
The Home Front Command issued a warning to residents of the area due to concerns about a leak of toxic materials, and workers at nearby factories were asked to shelter in protected buildings. The MDA team provided medical treatment to one person who was slightly injured by the debris.
