Iran crosses red line with hospital strike, Israel says

Israel accused Iran of crossing a red line after a strike hit Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva on Thursday, causing extensive damage.

“The dictatorship regime from Tehran has crossed the line and is acting as a barbaric terrorist organization,” Health Minister Uriel Busso said.

He condemned the attack as a “despicable war crime.”

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it targeted an Israeli intelligence site near a hospital. Israeli officials denied any military use of the hospital, calling the strike a deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure that demands international condemnation and potential legal scrutiny.
