Iran says missile targeted IOF intelligence center, not Soroka Hospital

Iran said that it has targeted the Israeli army’s command and intelligence headquarters and an intelligence camp in its latest missile attacks on Israel.

Tehran stated that the intended target of the latest missile strikes was the “large [Israeli army] Command and Intelligence (IDF C4I) headquarters and the military intelligence camp in the Gav-Yam Technology Park.”

Israeli officials confirmed that at least 47 people were injured in the latest attacks, while the Israeli prime minister accused Iran of targeting Soroka Hospital.

Iranian news agency IRNA said  that the main targets of the Iranian attack carried out on Thursday morning were the Israeli army’s command and intelligence headquarters and the Israeli army’s intelligence camp located near Soroka Hospital.

Despite media censorship in Israel, videos surfaced online after Iran’s latest attacks, showing damage to Soroka Hospital and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and other buildings.

According to Tehran Times, Iranian officials say that in addition to the Israeli army’s command and intelligence headquarters, a military intelligence installation in the Gev Yam Technology Park in Beersheba was targeted by the missiles.

Iranian officials said the area was near Sorok aHospital, one of the largest medical centers in southern Israel. The blast wave caused minor damage to the hospital, but IRan made it clear that military installations were the real and correct target.

On the other hand, according to Israeli media, the Iranian missile attack targeted Soroka Hospital in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba.

According to the AFP news agency, rescue officials said that at least 47 people were injured in the attack. According to the Times of Israel, six people were seriously injured as a result of the Iranian attacks.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a threatening statement  after Iran's missile strike reportedly targeted Soroka Hospital in Beersheva.
