At least 240 people were wounded in an Iranian strike on June 19 on the Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva, Israel.
Most of those wounded suffered minor injuries.
The hospital is currently only open for emergencies.
“This is exactly the face of this regime. It’s a terror regime,” Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said. “We are targeting military targets. They are targeting civilians. They are aiming to kill as many civilians as they can.”
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz told members of the media Iranian leader Ali Khamenei “should not continue to exist” following the attack. Trump reportedly vetoed an Israeli proposal to take out Khamenei.
“The cowardly Iranian dictator sits in the depths of the fortified bunker and fires aimed shots at hospitals and residential buildings in Israel,” Katz posted on X. “These are war crimes of the most serious kind – and Khamenei will be held accountable for his crimes.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who visited the hospital, said: “We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.”
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is contemplating U.S. military involvement in the conflict. He is scheduled to hold meetings in the White House Situation Room on Thursday.
