Watch | Iranian ballistic missile strikes Israel's Soroka Hospital

As the conflict between Israel and Iran continued on Thursday, the latter targetted a hospital in southern Israel with a missile. A video of the same has gone viral on social media.

"BREAKING: A direct hit has been reported at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, southern Israel. More details to follow," Israel's foreign ministry posted on the social media platform X.

Soroka Hospital is known for treating soldiers wounded in Gaza, besides serving the population in southern Israel, as per a report by AFP.

Iran's main targets for Thursday morning attack were the IDF command and intelligence headquarters and the IDF intelligence camp adjacent to Soroka hospital, the nation's official news agency IRNA reported.

In response to the hospital attack, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, "We will exact the full price from the "tyrants" in Tehran."

The Israeli military said on Thursday it had targeted the nuclear reactor in the area of Arak in Iran overnight and struck what it called a nuclear weapons development site in the area of Natanz.

Among its nuclear sites, Iran had a partially built heavy-water research reactor originally called Arak and now Khondab.

At Natanz, which has been previously struck during Israel's six-day-old aerial war with Iran, Iran built a complex at the heart of its nuclear programme that included two enrichment plants.

Heavy-water reactors pose a nuclear proliferation risk because they can easily produce plutonium, which, like enriched uranium, can be used to make the core of an atom bomb.

A week of Israeli air and missile strikes against its major rival has wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command, damaged its nuclear capabilities and killed hundreds of people, while Iranian retaliatory strikes have killed two dozen civilians in Israel.

The worst-ever conflict between the two regional powers has raised fears that it will draw in world powers and deliver another blow to the Middle East, where the spillover effects of the Gaza war have undermined stability.
