BREAKING NEWS | DIRECT IRANIAN STRIKE HITS ISRAEL’S TECH HEARTLAND
Iran Launches Missile Strike on CyberSpark in Beersheba – Microsoft Facility and High-Tech Zone Reportedly in Flames
BEERSHEBA, ISRAEL – tarnabakunews.com | Saturday, June 21, 2025
Tensions in the Middle East have once again flared as Iran reportedly launched a targeted missile strike on CyberSpark, the high-security technology district in Beersheba, southern Israel. This strategic zone is home to several defense technology institutions, cyber intelligence units, and major global corporations including Microsoft.
CyberSpark is recognized as a critical hub where Israel’s military, intelligence community, and private tech firms collaborate closely on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, surveillance systems, and defense innovation. It is part of the larger Negev Advanced Technologies Park, a world-class innovation ecosystem hosting numerous startups and research centers.
Initial reports indicate that the strike caused fires near the Microsoft campus and damaged other high-tech infrastructure in the area. While no casualties have been officially confirmed, the material damage is reportedly significant.
Israeli Defense Ministry spokespeople have yet to issue a formal response, but security forces have sealed off access to the Beersheba Tech Park. Surveillance drones and counter-attack systems were seen deployed in the southern Israeli skies shortly after the incident.
Though Iran has not publicly acknowledged the strike, analysts suggest it is a direct retaliation against prior escalations involving Israeli operations in Lebanon and Syria.
The targeting of a high-profile digital defense facility such as CyberSpark marks a notable shift in tactical focus—from conventional military bases to digital and cyber infrastructure as frontline battlegrounds.
