Alarm raised over potential missile strike on allied urban center Beer Sheva
New Update on the Devastating Iranian Missile Attack on Beer Sheva's Soroka Hospital
Listen up, folks! The latest on the heart-wrenching missile attack on Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, Israel, is a real eye-opener.
First off, let me tell you about the damage and injuries. The hospital suffered considerable damage in various sections, and there was a direct hit on a part that resulted in a roof collapse and a spreading fire. For over an hour, black smoke billowed up after the strike[1][2][3]. But here's the silver lining - the evacuated section of the hospital had been evacuated just in time, saving countless lives[1][4].
Initially, there were fears of a dangerous chemical release, but thankfully, they turned out to be unfounded[2]. The aftermath was quite harrowing with patients and staff seen rushing through smoke-filled, damaged areas following the attack[2].
Now, let's talk about the casualties. About 89 people were wounded across different central Israeli cities due to the Iranian missile barrages that day, with three in serious condition[1][3]. Sixteen wounded were admitted to a hospital in Tel Aviv, including three with critical injuries[1][3]. Incidentally, there were no fatalities inside Soroka Hospital itself, all thanks to timely evacuation and rescue efforts[4].
Now, as for the efforts to stop this military conflict, Israel has promised to hold Iran's leadership accountable for what they call "war crimes" following the attack[1]. They've been involved in military operations targeting Iranian nuclear capabilities, and one of these strikes was on Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor[2][3]. Diplomatic and intelligence efforts also continue, with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) urging restraint, though their efforts face challenges due to Iran’s restrictions on inspectors[1].
Currently, U.S. President Donald Trump (as of the attack in June 2025) is weighing the option of a direct intervention in the conflict to aid Israel in countering Iranian military threats[1]. Following the missile attack, Israeli high-level military and government inputs are ongoing, with health and emergency services working tirelessly to clear the damaged hospital areas and relocate patients to rehabilitation facilities to resume care safely[4].
In a nutshell, the Iranian missile strike left Soroka Medical Center in tatters and caused injuries to many, but thanks to prompt evacuations, no hospital fatalities were reported. Israel is working hard to defend itself and seek accountability from Iran, as tension and missile exchanges continue[1][2][3][4]. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation.
The unfolding conflict between Iran and Israel has extended to the realm of war-and-conflicts, pushing international politics to its limits. Amidst the escalating tensions, the recent Iranian missile attack on Beer Sheva's Soroka Hospital has become a significant general-news story, highlighting the dire consequences of geopolitical struggles.
