Authorities in Israel have warned of a potential chemical leak following an Iranian attack on the Neot Hovav industrial zone near Beersheba. The incident occurred on March 29, 2026, and residents living close to the area were instructed to stay indoors as a precaution. Emergency services confirmed that one person was injured in the attack.

The Neot Hovav industrial zone is located about four miles from the southern Israeli city of Beersheba and houses facilities containing hazardous materials. Israeli media reported that residents were told to keep their windows closed due to fears that dangerous substances from the affected factory could spread into nearby areas.

The warning follows heightened regional tensions, with Iranian and Israeli military actions reported in recent days. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation to prevent further risks to public safety.
