Raket alarm in Be'er Scheva: Soroka hospital hit hard!

On Thursday, the Soroka Hospital in the Israeli Be’er Scheva was the goal of a devastating Iranian rocket attack, in which a total of 32 people were injured. According to Krone, the surgical department of the hospital was particularly badly damaged. As a result, the hospital asked patients to initiate treatment for the time being to stabilize the situation on site.

The attack in which Iran fired 20 rockets on Israel is seen as part of an escalating military discussion between the two countries. According to T-Online, at least three people were seriously injured. The Israeli Minister of Health Uriel Buso clearly described the attack on the hospital as a "terrorist attack" and "war crimes". In addition to the Soroka Hospital, a residential building in Azor was also destroyed by a rocket with an outlawed streumunition, which distributed 20 small explosives over a radius of eight kilometers.

reactions and military measures

Israel's head of government Benjamin Netanyahu clearly understood that the Iranian leadership would pay for these violent acts "a high price". The Israeli army asked the population in the affected areas to go into shelter, while search and rescue workers were in several places. An employee of the Soroka Hospital reported that a department was evacuated on Wednesday. According to it, this may have saved life.

The military situation remains tense because Israel continues to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities to weaken Iran's military capacities. According to a report by Spiegel, the conflict between Israel and Iran Safety relationships could significantly destabilize. The Iranian news agency Tasnim, on the other hand, claimed that the actual goal of the attack was an Israeli military base, which further fueled the tensions.
