Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday, June 19th, that Iran would “pay a heavy price” after a missile hit a hospital in Israel’s south.
“This morning, Iran’s terrorist dictators fired missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva and at civilians in the centre of the country. We will make the tyrants in Tehran pay a heavy price,” Netanyahu said in a post on X.
Iran launched a fresh salvo of missiles at Israel on Thursday, with the Soroka hospital in southern Israel’s Beersheba suffering extensive damage.
The Israeli army said it had struck Iran’s Natanz nuclear site again, as well as an “inactive nuclear reactor” in Arak during overnight raids.
The latest exchange of fire comes as U.S. President Donald Trump warned he was weighing U.S. military action in the conflict.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had told aides on Tuesday he had approved attack plans but was holding off to see if Iran would give up its nuclear programme.
