Netanyahu Vows Retaliation After Iranian Strike on Israeli Hospital
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to “extract the full price” from Iran following confirmation that an Iranian missile struck an Israeli hospital. Describing the incident as a “heinous terrorist operation,” Netanyahu affirmed Israel’s commitment to retaliate.
The missile—identified as an Iranian-made precision-guided ballistic weapon—travelled over 500 kilometers through Syrian airspace before targeting the civilian medical facility in central Israel. The strike resulted in tens of injuries and significant damage, prompting national outrage.
Netanyahu vow
Addressing the nation, Netanyahu declared that no Israeli target would be off-limits in the forthcoming response. He stated that Iran must understand the “pain of terror”, and that Israel’s retaliation would demonstrate that attacks on non-combatants carry severe consequences.
Iran strike
Iran has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the missile launch. However, preliminary intelligence and debris analysis strongly implicate Tehran. The choice of a hospital as the target underscores a dangerous shift—signals not just a military strike, but a calculated attack on civilian infrastructure.
Hospital attack
Medical staff reported scenes of chaos: shattered windows, damaged equipment, and frightened patients. First responders worked to evacuate the wounded, while security forces secured the area. Emergency services continue to assess the structural safety of the hospital and surrounding buildings.
