Civilians targeted in Iranian strikes that damaged Soroka hospital in Israel
Israel’s President Isaac Herzog said the Iranian missile strikes that damaged southern Israel’s Soroka hospital targeted civilians.
“A baby in intensive care. A mother by their bedside. A doctor rushing between beds. An elderly resident in a nursing home. These were some of the targets of Iran’s missile attacks on Israeli civilians this morning,” Israel’s President Isaac Herzog wrote in a statement on X.
The Soroka Medical Center in the southern Israeli city of Be’er-Sheva was extensively damaged in Iran’s strikes, according to its spokeswoman.
“I send strength and support to the medical teams, to the patients, and to the residents of Be’er Sheva and all cities attacked across Israel this morning,” Herzog said.
“In moments like these, we are reminded of what’s truly at stake, and the values we are defending,” he added.
