The Negev Nuclear Research Center is located just 13 kilometers from the city and the news that it was hit by two rockets caused panic among the 252.000 followers of the Israeli Army.
Before the residents started running for the nearest shelter, a tweet came from the Syrian Electronic Army who denied the news and said they had broken the account of the Israeli armed forces.
