At the scene of Israeli hospital hit by Iran strike

Black smoke was still rising from the center of the Soroka Medical Center when we arrived, Several hours after Iran’s attack on the building.

It seems that a piece of twisted metal fragments – some of them from the missile itself – scattered across the 200 meters (656 feet) in the hospital complex and around it.

The vehicles carrying the medical staff on the road abroad – a response to emergency situations to a situation that many were afraid would be worse.

Crowds of soldiers, police, and rescue teams crushed around the hospital entrances, where a stream of ministers arrived to express their anger at the strike.

Alon Ozi was wandering outside the hospital entrance with two bags of property.

He said he was receiving treatment in the emergency department when the attack occurred, and he had no time to reach the shelter.

He told us: “I was lying on the bed, and I heard a big boom.” “Before I could do anything, there was an explosion and part of the ceiling fell and I was covered with white dust.

“There was no time to get out of the bed. I was only preparing and then heard the noise.”

Inside the emergency reception area, Tang air carrying chemicals mixed with dust. Patients were still evacuated in the depths of the building, as the emergency teams passed through the surgical roaming that were struck.

The medical staff told local media that patients were recently transferred to the underground hospital emergency shelters. Seventy -one people were injured, according to the Israeli Ministry of Health.

Professor Asher Bashri, director of the maternity wing, said he could see the field of influencing his office.

He told me: “It seems unbelievable.” “The upper part of the building is cracked, and the fire came from it in the early hours. Everything looks broken.”

He said they transferred all patients to a more protection area when the war began.

“We were very lucky,” he said. “It could be much worse. But we still live in an incredible situation. It didn’t end – I don’t know what would happen tomorrow, or the next day. We are happy because we are alive.”

The director of the hospital, Shlom Kudch, said that the northern surgical building has been hit and that many wings were demolished, with widespread damage to the entire hospital.

“We expect to transfer more than 200 patients in the next few hours to other medical centers,” he said. “We are trying to reduce the number of people; we do not know whether the buildings may collapse or if the wings may collapse.”

Among the current of the ministers who visit the site today, Minister of Culture, Mickey Zohar, from the Likud party in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“All people need to know what we face – a regime that tries to kill innocents,” he said. “When you deal with evil, this is a different war. Believe me, we will not stop until we win. We will respond and you will be very strong.”

Mr. Zohar was asked about the history of Israel in the bombing of hospitals in Gaza – the sites whose army says is used as centers of military control by Hamas.

“We keep innocent in Gaza as safe as possible,” he said. “We invite them to evacuate before we bomb. This is the big difference between Iran and the United States.”

Israeli defense minister accused Israel Katz, the supreme leader of Iran of committing “war crimes of the most dangerous type”, saying that he would be held accountable.

Netanyahu accused Iran of intentionally targeting civilians, and promised that Israel “would exceed the full price of tyrants in Tehran.”

Iranian media says that the center they were targeting were in the GAV-Yam Tech Park, which is located less than 3 km (1.86 miles).

It was one of half of Dzina of sites set by Iranian missiles on Thursday morning, a day after Donald Trump asked to “surrender Iran.”

It is a reminder that both sides have the ability to escalate this conflict, either using different weapons – or by choosing different goals.

The US President weighs the decision to enter the war alongside Israel, while he demands Iran to apply for an agreement that ends its nuclear enrichment, with the aim of preventing its path to a nuclear weapon.

On Wednesday, Israel said it had sent 40 combat aircraft to bomb targets in Iran, including an inactive nuclear reactor in Arak and a nuclear development building in Natanz, along with dozens of missile sites and radar.

Nearly a week of daily attacks on both sides, this war is unstable on the end of a much wider conflict.
