JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's main arms research facility was hit by an explosion on Monday that caused several casualties, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said.
It said the blast occurred near the entrance to the Rafael arms research facility near the northern city of Haifa. It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion.
Rafael, the Israel Armament Development Authority, develops some of Israel's most sophisticated weapons systems, including missiles and drones.
Israel Radio said details of the blast were sketchy and it could have been caused by an accident. There was no immediate suggestion the explosion was a Palestinian attack.
The ambulance service reported that several people were hurt. Army Radio reported multiple injuries.
