This reads like those stories of BLM protestors blocking ambulances and causing the patient to die.
In other words, I call this BS.
More likely they were developing the next model of Israel's vaunted Kid-Killing-Kannons.
Pretty sure they wouldn't have had the entirety of the information they gathered on curing leukemia just in one building with no copies.
Yeah, it seems really unlikely that a team of scientists capable enough to accomplish this would be so incompetent they wouldn't have like a cloud save or a physical backup at another site, especially weeks into the war with Iran, not because they'd be super tech savvy but because this is just operational common sense, which is sort of important for doing effective research.
Or be smart enough they could redo the work assuming they weren't all in the building at the same time
To be fair, people who do great research aren't exactly famous for having operational common sense. (But that's why you have administrative staff.)
Especially that this particular story come from people shooting at ambulances and killing patients and medics and everyone around.
