Some supportReported by 2 outlets

An explosion occurred at Intel's manufacturing factory in Kiryat Gat, Israel, killing two people and injuring one. The company stated that the blast would erase roughly $600 million in revenue over two quarters, following a two-week shutdown of the facility. Intel also reduced its fourth-quarter revenue outlook by approximately $300 million and cut gross margins by 200 basis points.
