An Iranian missile slammed into the main hospital in southern Israel early on Thursday, causing “extensive damage” but no serious injuries, according to the medical facility. Israeli media aired footage of blown-out windows. Black smoke rose from the Soroka Medical Centre in the southern city of Beersheba as emergency teams evacuated patients. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded saying: “We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.”

‘Khamenei must go’

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said that a dictator like Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who heads a country like Iran, cannot continue to exist. “IDF has been instructed and knows that in order to achieve all of its goals, this man should not continue to exist.”
