Israeli media reports that an Iranian ballistic missile struck the Soroka Medical Centre in Bir Al-Saba, damaging several areas of the hospital used to treat Israeli soldiers wounded in Gaza. IRNA, Iran's offical news agency, reports that the attack's primary target was the Israeli occupation army's Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (IOF C4I) headquarters, which is located adjacent to Soroka Hospital, and that the hospital did not sustain any major damage. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has labelled the attack a war crime; however, this article highlights Israel's own systemic assault on Gaza's healthcare system since October 2023.
