Tomer Defense Company Explains Sky-Lit Explosion Near Beit Shemesh, Israel

Following last night’s dramatic explosion that turned the skies red and triggered widespread panic in the Beit Shemesh area, the state-owned defense company Tomer held an internal review this morning with the Ministry of Defense.

The company, which develops and manufactures missile engines — including those used in Israel’s Arrow ballistic missile defense system — conducted a pre-planned experiment around 23:00 at the end of Shabbat. The test took place amid heightened security tensions and foreign reports about possible renewed action against Iran.

According to Tomer, the experiment was carried out exactly as scheduled, with no malfunction or uncontrolled explosion. Due to urgent operational demands, the company has recently shifted to around-the-clock testing, including night hours, after recruiting dozens of new employees to accelerate production.

The test site is located at least 5 km from the nearest populated areas. Company sources explained that the striking red glow and “apocalyptic” visual effect were caused by specific weather conditions and high humidity at the time. No emergency vehicles were dispatched to the facility, as all relevant authorities, the IDF, Fire and Rescue Services, Police, and Ministry of Defense, had been notified in advance.

However, the public was not given prior warning, which led to anxiety and a wave of conspiracy theories online.
In response, Tomer and the Ministry of Defense announced that a new mechanism will be established to better inform the public ahead of future experiments that could be visible or alarming.

The Ministry of Defense stated: “This was a pre-planned experiment that was executed according to plan. The issue of early public notification will be reviewed together with the company.”

Tomer emphasized that the test was routine, successful, and fully controlled. - Via Kann

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iranian Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Esmaeil Baqaei:
The next grand lie being rolled out to justify their illegal 'war of choice' is the claim that they are 'preserving peace and stability in global energy markets.'

In reality, though, it was the reckless warmongering of the U.S. and Israeli regimes that shattered promising diplomatic processes and, through an unprovoked military aggression against Iran, deliberately injected insecurity into vital energy routes — only then to accuse Iran of destabilization, in order to put into practice Goebbels’ infamous dictum: "Accuse others of what you yourself are doing."

This is their familiar, cynical playbook: manufacture crisis and war, then escalate further under the noble banner of 'restoring stability' and 'defending peace.'

“They create a desolation and call it peace."

🇮🇱💥 A massive explosion struck Beit Shemesh, Israel, at a facility operated by Tomer, the state-owned defense company that develops and manufactures rocket propulsion systems for several Israeli missiles and rockets, including the Arrow long-range missile defense interceptor.

The mysterious massive explosion apparently occurred at a test engine facility inside the highly secretive Israeli Sidot Micha base, located at 31°46'24.08"N 34°53'47.93"E.

A similar explosion took place at the same facility in 2021 during an Israeli rocket engine test.

I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that this was a pre-coordinated or controlled explosion, possibly tied to a solid rocket engine test, especially with Tomer involved.

What doesn’t make sense, though, is why residents in Beit Shemesh weren’t warned beforehand. The lack of warnings beforehand would point to the cause of the explosion being an accident.

Sdot Micha Base, where the explosion occurred, is also considered one of the IDF’s most strategic facilities. Beneath it lies a vast network of hardened underground bunkers and concealed tunnels house much of Israel’s nuclear-capable Jericho ballistic missile arsenal.

In the same area, the Tirosh Strategic Warehousing site sits right next to Sdot Micha base.

This facility functions as an underground weapons storage site. It contains specialized bunkers and tunnel systems assigned for the storage of Israel’s strategic nuclear warheads.
