Israel called the attack "criminal", while Iran said it had targeted a site nearby and not the hospital itself.

A hospital in the Israeli town of Beersheba has been hit as Iran fired a barrage of missiles, with the conflict between the two countries continuing into a seventh day.

Iran said the strike had targeted a military site close to the hospital, not the facility itself. Dozens of people were reported injured in several locations across Israel, including near Tel Aviv.

After visiting the Soroka Medical Centre on Thursday, Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said Iran’s supreme leader “can no longer be allowed to exist”.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military said it had targeted Iran’s nuclear sites including the “inactive” Arak heavy water reactor and Natanz facility.

    Oh the irony.

    While Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz told reporters: “Khamenei openly declares that he wants Israel destroyed - he personally gives the order to fire on hospitals.”
