Missiles Target Hospital Amidst Escalating Iran-Israel Tensions

Early Thursday witnessed a severe escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, as an Iranian missile struck Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba, southern Israel. Although the hospital sustained extensive damage, fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported. Black smoke and images of destruction have captured the harrowing scene.

Israeli forces retaliated by targeting Iran's Arak heavy water reactor, as part of a broader strategy to dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities. With both nations exchanging missile strikes, Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, vowed a strong response, condemning Iran's actions and promising accountability from Tehran's leadership.

The international community remains on edge, as these developments underscore the fragile stability in the region, with Israel and Iran locked in a tense standoff involving high-stakes military engagements over nuclear ambitions and regional dominance.
