Iranian missile strikes have damaged an Israeli hospital and targeted military sites, escalating tensions with Israel and prompting international concern. The conflict involves threats of regional escalation, with Iran warning of possible shutdowns of strategic waterways and Israel vowing to intensify strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Global organizations like the WHO and UN have condemned the violence and civilian casualties, urging restraint and negotiations.
Israeli Health Minister Uriel Busso described the Iranian missile attack on Soroka Medical Center as a significant escalation in the conflict, emphasizing the attack's terrorist nature and its impact on hospital operations, while highlighting Israel's preparedness and potential response to Iran.
Iran launched a missile barrage at Israel, striking Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba and causing damage and casualties, including one in serious condition, with at least 25 lightly wounded across the country.
Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of over 120 Palestinians in the past 48 hours, including seven members of one family. The strikes also damaged a hospital in northern Gaza, injuring medical staff and damaging equipment. The Israeli military claims the operations aim to prevent Hamas attacks, while local residents fear a strategy to depopulate the area. The hospital's director reported targeted bombardment of the emergency area, and further legal actions against Israeli officials are anticipated.
