Missile strikes Israel's main hospital after IDF blasts Iran's nuclear reactor; Netanyahu warns, ‘Will make Tehran pay…’

• As per AFP reports, 47 people were injured in the latest attacks.
• Defence Minister Israel Katz said that orders have been issued to "intensify" strikes on Iran.
• In a post on X, Benjamin Netanyahu said, “This morning, Iran's terrorist dictators fired missiles at Soroka Hospital... and at civilians in the centre of the country. We will make the tyrants in Tehran pay a heavy price.”

• This latest attack came after the two side traded missiles for the seventh consecutive day after Israel's surprise attack in which Iran's top generals and nuclear scientists were killed.
• The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that it struck key sites linked to Iran’s nuclear weapons and missile programs, including inactive nuclear reactor in Arak, a nuclear weapons development site near Natanz, ballistic missile and air defence production facilities and radar systems and missile storage sites.
• Footage of blown-out windows, heavy black smoke and Israeli's running to shelter was posted by IDF.

• However, Iran claimed that the main target of a missile attack was an Israeli military and intelligence base and not the health facility located in southern Israel. 
• The state news agency IRNA issued a statement that read, “The main target of the attack was the Israeli Army Command and Intelligence Base (IDF C4I) and the Army Intelligence Camp in Gav-Yam Technology Park, located in the vicinity of the Soroka Hospital.”
