Watch: Smoke billows from Israeli hospital struck by Iranian missile

The Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba suffered extensive structural damage following what officials described as a direct hit.

Emergency services treated several people for injuries. The full casualty count remains unclear.

Elsewhere, a separate missile landed near Tel Aviv, damaging a high-rise building and nearby homes.

Israel responded by targeting Iran’s Arak nuclear reactor in a series of airstrikes.

Iran’s foreign minister described the missile attacks as acts of self-defence, with tensions between the two countries now in their seventh day.
