A barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles struck several Israeli cities early Thursday morning, June 19, injuring over 120 people and directly hitting Soroka Medical Center, the largest hospital in southern Israel. The attack marks the most serious Iranian strike on civilian infrastructure since the current conflict erupted last week following Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites and military leadership.
Missiles slammed into Beersheba, Holon, and Ramat Gan shortly after 7 a.m., triggering air raid sirens across central and southern Israel and sending residents scrambling for shelter. In Beersheba, one missile scored a direct hit on Soroka Medical Center, damaging an old surgical building that recently had been evacuated. Hospital officials reported that several people suffered light injuries and that the facility would only treat life-threatening cases until further notice.
