Jerusalem, June 19, 2025 – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning following a missile strike that he attributed to Iran. In a public statement, Netanyahu confirmed that Iranian missiles had targeted critical civilian infrastructure in central Israel, including a hospital in Be’er Sheva and a civilian food distribution facility.
“This morning, Iran’s terrorist proxies launched missiles that struck the Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva and a civilian food depot in central Israel,” Netanyahu said. “We will ensure they pay the full price for this terror.”
The Israeli government has not yet disclosed the full extent of the damage or casualties, but emergency response teams have been deployed to affected areas. The targeted hospital, Soroka, is one of Israel’s largest medical facilities and serves a significant population in the south of the country.
Netanyahu’s statement underscores Israel’s increasing concern over Iran’s involvement in regional hostilities. While the Prime Minister did not reveal specific plans, his message signals a likely military response in the near future.
The situation has further escalated regional tensions, prompting calls from international leaders for restraint and diplomatic engagement to prevent a broader conflict.
More updates are expected as the Israeli Defense Forces assess the aftermath of the attack.
