Iran will pay ‘heavy price’ for missile attack at hospital: Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iran will “pay a heavy price” after its missile attack damaged Israel’s Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, Al Jazeera and Jerusalem Post reported.
“This morning, Iran’s terrorist dictators fired missiles at Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva and at civilians in the centre of the country,” Netanyahu wrote in a post on X.
“We will make the tyrants in Tehran pay a heavy price,” he warned.
An Iranian ballistic missile struck Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba on Thursday morning as sirens sounded across Israel following a barrage launched from Iran.
There has been damage to the hospital after it was hit in several areas, and there was a significant impact on the hospital's old surgical building, the hospital spokesperson stated.
During the missile barrage, large blasts were heard across Israel as several other direct impact sites in central Israeli cities were reported.
At least three direct impact sites were reported in the initial aftermath of the sirens.
