At least 32 people injured after Israeli hospital suffers ‘direct hit’ by Iranian missile
Israel’s main southern hospital has sustained a direct hit from an Iranian ballistic missile.
The Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba suffered “extensive damage” in the strike this morning, June 19.
A spokesperson said at least 32 people were injured in the strike and urged patients to stay away.
The hospital has more than 1,000 beds and serves roughly a million residents of Israel’s south, according to the website
The strike came as Israel attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, Iranian state television said Thursday, June 19.
The report said there was “no radiation danger whatsoever”.
An Iranian state television reporter, on live in the nearby town of Khondab, said the facility had been evacuated and there was no damage done to civilian areas around the reactor.
Israel had warned earlier Thursday morning it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area.
The Israeli military said Thursday’s round of airstrikes targeted Tehran and other areas of Iran, without elaborating.
It later said Iran fired a new salvo of missiles at Israel and told residents to take shelter.
Israel’s seventh day of airstrikes on Iran came a day after Iran’s supreme leader rejected US calls for surrender and warned that any military involvement by the Americans would cause “irreparable damage to them”.
Israel also lifted some restrictions on daily life, suggesting the missile threat from Iran on its territory was easing.
Already, Israel’s campaign has targeted Iran’s enrichment site at Natanz, centrifuge workshops around Tehran and a nuclear site in Isfahan.
Its strikes have also killed top generals and nuclear scientists.
A Washington-based Iranian human rights group said at least 639 people, including 263 civilians, have been k!lled in Iran and more than 1,300 wounded.
In retaliation, Iran has fired about 400 missiles and hundreds of drones, k!lling at least 24 people in Israel and wounding hundreds. Some have hit apartment buildings in central Israel, causing heavy damage.
