Iran crossed a ‘red line’ targeting Soroka hospital: Israeli health minister
Israeli Health Minister Uriel Buso said that Iran has crossed a red line by targeting Soroka hospital in Be’er Sheva in the south of the country with a missile.
“This is a war crime committed by the Iranian regime,” Buso was cited as saying by Israel’s Army Radio.
Israeli media has reported damage to the hospital following the latest Iranian missile attack.

However mainstream media is reporting this as a direct hit, of course.
Israeli officials express outrage over attack damaging Soroka hospital
More Israeli officials have slammed an Iranian attack that caused damage to one of Israel’s largest hospitals.
“Deliberate. Criminal. Civilian target,” said Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel, as she shared footage on social media of patients and staff at Soroka hospital, apparently fleeing the heavily damaged and smoke-filled facility. “The world must speak out.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said that vulnerable hospital patients were “targets of Iran’s missile attacks on Israeli civilians”.
“In moments like these, we are reminded of what’s truly at stake, and the values we are defending,” he wrote on social media.
As we reported earlier, Iran’s official IRNA news agency claims that an Israeli military command and intelligence site located near the hospital was the “main target” of this morning’s missile attack.
How dare they talk about values. Hospitals should never be hit, yet Israel continually targets healthcare, hospitals, aid workers, rescue equipment.

Israel’s injury toll rises to 47
The number of people injured from Iran’s latest missile barrage in Israel is now 47, with three in a serious condition and two in a moderate condition, according to Israel’s emergency rescue service.
Eighteen more people have been injured while rushing to shelters, said the emergency service.
Trip and fall injuries?
