Soroka Hospital in Southern Israel Directly Hit by Iranian Missile, Amidst Ongoing Conflict

A direct missile strike hit Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, the largest hospital in southern Israel, as confirmed by both the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the IDF. The incident is part of a larger, ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded with a strong condemnation, blaming Iran for targeting the hospital and promising retribution. He stated that Iran would ‘exact the full price’ for the attack. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar shared a video of the hospital damage and accused the Iranian regime of war crimes. The attack follows earlier exchanges, with Israel initially targeting Iranian sites and Iran retaliating with strikes on Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv. The conflict began on June 13, 2025, with Israel initiating strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, and Iran responding with airstrikes.
