Israeli health minister calls Soroka strike a war crime

Health Minister Uriel Buso said Thursday that the missile strike on Soroka Medical Center was a “war crime” by Iran, deliberately targeting civilians and medical staff.

“The missile attack on Soroka is an act of terror and a red line crossed,” Buso said. “This was a war crime by the Iranian regime, deliberately aimed at innocent civilians and medical teams.” He added that prior planning by the health ministry prevented what could have been a major disaster.
