Over 240 Injured As Iran Strikes Israel Again
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israel’s Health Ministry says at least 240 people have been wounded in Thursday’s Iranian missile barrage hitting Israel, including four individuals with serious injuries.
That number brought the total of injuries to more than 1,000 since Iran began attacking Israel on Friday, according to a Worthy News tally. At least two dozen people have died, officials said.
The vast majority of Thursday’s strike were lightly wounded, including over 70 people at the hospital in the southern city of Beersheba, where smoke rose as emergency teams evacuated patients, according to
authorities.
Doctors of Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center, the missile struck the hospital almost immediately after air raid sirens went off, causing a loud explosion that could be heard from a safe room.
Shortly after, the Israeli hospital hit by the Iranian missile attack struggled to evacuate hundreds of patients. Israel Defense Forces could be seen helping to evacuate patients, some struggling to
walk away.
Israeli Health Minister Uriel Busso expressed his outrage over the damage done to the hospital in Beersheba, the main city in Israel’s Negev desert.
“This is a terrorist act deliberately targeting a hospital; it’s a red line to attack hospitals that treat women, children, the elderly, and the helpless,” Busso told the Jerusalem Post newspaper.
He stressed that the hospital “may need to reduce activity—originally it’s a hospital with 1,000 beds, but since the attack, it’s down to 700 beds, and now we’re going to evacuate about another 200–250 patients. Some will be discharged, and others transferred to other centers.”
Tehran says its missile strikes are in response to Israel attacking Iran. Israel says its actions are to ensure that the Islamic Republic won’t obtain nuclear weapons.
