The Soroka Hospital in the city of Be’er Sheva, Israel took a direct hit from a huge Iranian missile early Thursday.
According to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, the building, described as the largest hospital in southern Israel, suffered ‘significant damage.’
Initial reports indicated about 40 people were wounded, but Israel’s Health Ministry later reported that at least 70 people were wounded from the hospital strike.
From the Associated Press:
The hospital said the main impact was on an old surgery building that had been evacuated in recent days. After the strike, the medical facility was closed to all patients except for life-threatening cases, it said. Soroka has over 1,000 beds and provides services to around 1 million residents of Israel’s south.
Yingst first announced, “Another wave of incoming missiles. This is a large barrage.”

One video filmed immediately after the missile strike reveals the terror of the moment.
Hillel Fuld, a global speaker and tech adviser, writes, “Beer Sheva hospital right now. After this, the regime is done. Mark my words. 7 impacts.”

Isaac Herzok, President of the State of Israel, posted the following statement:
A baby in intensive care. A mother by their bedside. A doctor rushing between beds. An elderly resident in a nursing home.
These were some of the targets of Iran’s missile attacks on Israeli civilians this morning.
Soroka Hospital, located in Be’er Sheva, is one of Israel’s finest—serving the entire Negev region, caring for Israelis of all faiths and our nEIghbors the Palestinians who come especially to be treated there. Its devoted staff—Jews and Arabs—work side by side in extraordinary harmony, united by the mission to heal.
I send strength and support to the medical teams, to the patients, and to the residents of Be’er Sheva and all cities attacked across Israel this morning.
In moments like these, we are reminded of what’s truly at stake, and the values we are defending.

Yossi Amar, Head of the Cyber Threats Department at the Intelligence Division of INCD, shared images from the strike on the hospital and wrote, “Iran just targeted Soroka Hospital. Not a base. A hospital. They hit where babies are born and wounded civilians fight to live. This was not a mistake. It was a message. We will answer. Not with words, but with force.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released the following statement after Iran attacked the hospital:
“This morning, Iran’s terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country. We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.”
הבוקר, רודני הטרור של איראן שיגרו טילים לעבר בית החולים סורוקה בבאר שבע ולעבר אוכלוסייה אזרחית במרכז הארץ.
נגבה את מלוא המחיר מהרודנים בטהרן.

Additional footage posted on X proves the damage to the hospital is, indeed, very significant.

One ballistic missile did this. One. Iran sent hundreds.
Into cities. Into hospitals.
Can you imagine how many would be dead without Israel’s aerial defense systems? I’d rather not imagine. pic.twitter.com/Pytf6vYesX

Fuld noted it was a pure miracle more people weren’t hurt or killed.
Oh God. Two. Two lives changed forever. Serious injuries is a lot worse than it sounds. Families changed forever.
But still, we should have hundreds dead.

Earlier this week, Iranian ‘supreme leader’ Ali Khamenei had threatened, “Something big is coming. Something the world will remember for centuries.”
Fuld wrote, “The only thing the “Supreme” leader is supreme at is targeting women and children just like his scumbag partners in Gaza and Lebanon. And Yemen. And Syria. “Something big is coming,” he says. “Something the world will remember for centuries,” he said.
And what is that thing? Targeting a hospital when patients are still in their beds. He thinks he’s so powerful? God had other plans. But he’ll pay. Have no doubt. He’ll pay.

Part of one ballistic missile.
That’s right. 20+ of these landed on Israel, a country smaller than NJ this morning.

The calls for revenge on Iran are growing:
Fuld declared, “The “Supreme leader of Iran“, he is about to find out who is really supreme, and it ain’t him.”

In another post, Fuld warned:
Dear Mr. Khamenei, have a good breakfast. Maybe go out on the town (or what’s left of it) because you won’t have many more opportunities.
It’s over, bro. The party is over. You’re done. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But you’re done.
Get your affairs in order. Say goodbye to your loved ones (whoever is left of them.). Prepare to meet your creator. He will be waiting for you in the darkest deepest parts of hell where you’ll burn for eternity.
