Iranian Missile Strike Hits Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva
I'm speaking to you today with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency. Just this morning, news broke that Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva was struck by an Iranian missile. Yes, a hospital—one of the largest and most vital medical centers in southern Israel—was hit in a moment that is sending shockwaves not just through the country, but across the globe. The images coming out of the hospital are devastating. Shattered windows, scorched walls, medical equipment reduced to rubble, and chaos in what is supposed to be a sanctuary of healing.
For those unfamiliar, Soroka Hospital serves over one million people in the Negev region, treating civilians, soldiers, children, and elderly alike. It’s not just a building; it’s a lifeline. And now, that lifeline is under attack.

Reports indicate that the missile struck part of the hospital's internal wing, leading to serious structural damage and causing several injuries among patients and staff. Miraculously, no deaths have been confirmed as of now—but the psychological impact is immeasurable. Nurses and doctors who moments before were performing life-saving procedures found themselves scrambling for shelter. Patients—some in critical condition—had to be rushed out of their rooms amid the smoke and debris.
This strike is not just a military act; it’s a humanitarian crisis. Attacking a hospital is a violation of international law, of the Geneva Conventions, and of basic human morality. Whether one views this conflict through a political, military, or religious lens, there must be a red line—and targeting a medical facility crosses it unequivocally.
The Israeli government has condemned the attack, calling it “a barbaric act of terror,” and vows that a response will come. Meanwhile, humanitarian organizations are rallying to assess the damage and restore the hospital’s functions as quickly as possible. Engineers and emergency crews are on site, assessing whether key units like neonatal care, oncology, and trauma surgery can continue operating safely.
This strike on Soroka Hospital is a chilling reminder of how far-reaching and indiscriminate modern warfare has become. Civilians, the sick, and the vulnerable are no longer safe even in the places we once believed to be protected by human decency. Let’s be clear: hospitals should never be warzones.
Today, we stand with Soroka Hospital, its staff, and all the innocent people caught in this conflict. As we await further developments, one thing is certain—this moment will be remembered, not just as a military strike, but as a deep wound on the conscience of humanity.
