An Iranian missile on Thursday directly struck Soroka Medical Centre, the primary hospital in southern Israel, causing significant damage and injuries. The hospital has urged residents to avoid seeking treatment at the facility for now.
The strike is part of escalating conflict after Israel targeted Iran's Arak heavy water reactor and other nuclear sites. Iranian state television reported no radiation danger, despite the missile exchanges between the two countries.
The ongoing conflict, marked by mutual airstrikes and heavy casualties, has drawn international concern over nuclear proliferation and the increasing hostility in the region. Talks around Iran's 2015 nuclear deal remain contentious as both countries continue their military campaigns.
