Iran-Israel Conflict: The military conflict between Israel and Iran entered the seventh day on Thursday as both sides continued to attack targets in the two countries. An Iranian missile struck the Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel early Thursday, causing significant injuries and “extensive damage," according to an Israeli government spokesperson.

Over 30 people have been injured after Soroka Medical Centre, the largest hospital in Israel’s south, was hit amid a series of Iranian strikes across the country.

Israeli media broadcasted visuals showing blown-out windows, thick black smoke rising from the facility as chaos ensued inside the building. Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel shared a video of the destruction inside the hospital.

In the video, the hospital staff and people can be seen running through smoke-filled corridors, while glass shards litter the floors. Debris from shattered windows, broken benches, and chairs was scattered throughout the area.

“The Iranian regime targeted Soroka Hospital in Beersheba with a ballistic missile—hitting a major medical center. We will not stand by. We will continue doing what must be done to defend our people," posted the official ‘State of Israel’ account, run by the foreign ministry.

Meanwhile, Iranian state media said that the main target of this morning’s missile strike was a military site next to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, not the hospital itself.

According to the IRNA news agency, the attack was aimed at an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) “command and intelligence (IDF C4i) headquarters" and an army intelligence camp in the Gav-Yam Technology Park.

Netanyahu Vows Revenge For Hospital Attack

In a strong response to Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said he will retaliate the attack on civilians at Soroka Hospital and other civilians areas in country’s central region. Netanyahu indicated that Tehran will have to pay the exact price. “This morning, Iran’s terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country. We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran," he wrote on X in Hebrew.

Iran-Israel Conflict

Tensions escalated in the Middle East due to violent engagement between Iran and Israel for seventh straight day on Thursday with both the sides exchanging strikes.

While Iranian missiles hit a prominent medical facility in southern Israel, reports said an area near the heavy water facility of Iran’s Khondab nuclear facility was targeted by Israel. Reports said Israel had issued an evacuation warning to the residents of Arak and Khondab in central Iran.
