Tensions in the Middle East have intensified dramatically. On June 19, Iran launched a barrage of over 20 ballistic missiles—including cluster warheads—at Israel. One missile directly struck the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, causing extensive structural damage, a possible chemical leak, and injuring approximately 71 people, though most were lightly wounded thanks to prior evacuations.
Iran claims it was targeting a nearby military intelligence hub, but Israel denounced it as a “war crime”.
