Iran's UN envoy Amir-Saeid Iravani accused Israel of “gross violations of international law”, and urged the UN to take action.
“If the council fails to act now, it will send a message that international law and resolutions apply selectively," he told security council Friday.
Israel's UN envoy Danny Dannon accused Iran of deliberately targeting a hospital, saying the country was a wolf posing as sheep.
"We do not apologize for neutralizing a threat," Dannon told security council. "We're acting where international community hesitated."
Addressing Iranian counterpart directly, Dannon said: “Mr Iravani, you are not a victim. You are not even a diplomat. You are a wolf pretending to be a diplomat and we are done pretending otherwise.”
