Israel’s main southern hospital, Soroka, was hit by an Iranian missile on Thursday, 19 June 2025, leaving several people injured and causing extensive damage.
The strike is a response to Israel’s earlier attack on Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor after warning the locals to flee the area. It was reported that two projectiles hit an area near the facility, and there were no reports of radiation threats.
Explosions were heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as the week-long conflict showed no signs of easing.
Soroka is a key medical Centre, with over 1 000 beds, serving around 1 million residents in the south. The hospital has now urged the public not to seek treatment there.
According to media reports, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the strike on the hospital, saying, “We will exact the full price from tyrants in Tehran”.
