 ❗️Iran’s FM defends precision strike near Israeli hospital, blames Tel Aviv for endangering civilians

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi defended today’s missile strike near Soroka hospital in Beersheba, asserting that it accurately targeted a military and intelligence facility used by Israeli forces. He emphasized that the strike caused only “superficial damage to a small section” of the hospital, which he said had been “largely evacuated” and was “primarily treating Israeli soldiers involved in the Gaza war.”

“Our Armed Forces struck a legitimate military target. If the Israeli regime chooses to embed its war operations within civilian infrastructure, it alone bears responsibility for any resulting damage,” Araghchi said. “We will continue to pummel the aggressors until they cease their crimes against our people.”

He further urged Israeli civilians to distance themselves from military installations, blaming Tel Aviv’s long-standing tactic of using civilian sites for military purposes.

Earlier, Soroka hospital’s Director General Shlomi Kodesh confirmed that a missile hit an older surgical ward, causing “widespread damage” and light injuries. Images from the scene show shattered windows and debris across parts of the complex.
