Netanyahu Tried To Blast Iran For Bombing A Hospital But Israel Has Destroyed Almost All Hospitals In Gaza
There have been at least 697 recorded Israeli attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza, leaving approximately 94% of all hospitals in Gaza damaged or destroyed.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Iran’s attack on Soroka Medical Center in Israel, saying Iran is a “criminal regime” targeting civilians, at the same time Israel has destroyed more than 36 hospitals in Gaza.
Iran launched an airstrike on Thursday, June 19, targeting the Israeli Defense Forces Command and Intelligence headquarters in Gav-Yam Technology Park but also struck the Soroka Medical Center, causing extensive damage to the hospital, injuring around 70 to 80 people.
Israeli authorities said Iran deliberately targeted the hospital with intent to harm civilians, calling it state-sponsored terrorism and a violation of international law.
Netanyahu also condemned the attack in a statement on Thursday, calling Iran’s leaders "terrorist tyrants" and vowing to exact a "full price" for the attack, calling it a war crime.
He then said in an interview on Friday that Israel only targets military sites while Iran targets hospitals and civilians.
Meanwhile, Israel has killed more than 55,998 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children and deliberately destroyed or rendered out of service at least 36 hospitals in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Media office.
Significant hospitals were attacked multiple times, including Kamal Adwan Hospital, Al Amal Hospital, Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Al Shifa Hospital and the only cancer specialist hospital in Gaza was also demolished in March 2025.
There have been at least 697 recorded Israeli attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza, leaving approximately 94% of all hospitals in Gaza damaged or destroyed.
Deliberate attacks on healthcare facilities and personnel are war crimes under International Humanitarian Law.
