Heavy damage reported at four sites in Israel after Iran missile attack
There were four impact sites. Three in central Israel, in the Gush Dan area as it is called. So that is the larger Tel Aviv area. There was heavy damage sustained to some buildings. One in Holon is reported to have collapsed. There was also an impact site … near Soroka hospital.
This is a very large hospital in Israel. It receives, right now in the context of the war on Gaza, a lot of injured soldiers.
The hospital itself, that we know, was not the target. It was a building next to it that was struck. But it sustained heavy damage and medical crews are inviting the public not to approach the impact site.
They are still going through the buildings and the rubble to make sure that nobody is stuck under the debris. Up to 25 people have been injured and these are very initial numbers.

Our correspondent in Amman, Jordan, Nour Odeh, says that among the wounded, two are in a critical condition. As we’ve been reporting, Iranian missiles hit the city of Be’er Sheva in southern Israel, damaging Soroka hospital, as well as in Tel Aviv.
Odeh said that damage to the hospital was the result of a blast wave, not a direct missile hit, corroborating claims by Iranian state media that the target of the attack was a “sensitive” site adjacent to the hospital.
A spokesperson for Israel’s ambulance service has told Israeli media that there is no leak of dangerous materials from the hospital, addressing circulating rumours to that effect.
The Israeli stock exchange building in Tel Aviv was also damaged in the strikes, Odeh added.
