Israel's president calls Beer-Sheva Hospital attack a 'war crime'

Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemns Iran's missile attack on Soroka Hospital in Beer-Sheva as a war crime, highlighting unity amid devastation.

"This is a war crime! - Israeli President Isaac Herzog"

Tel Aviv, June 19

President of Israel Isaac Herzog called Iran's missile strike on Beer-Sheva's Soroka Hospital Thursday morning a war crime.

Herzog arrived at Soroka Hospital in Beer-Sheva this morning, where he was greeted by the Director of the hospital, Prof. Shlomi Kodesh, along with doctors, nurses, and patients, Jews and Muslims, from all walks of life from across the Negev, Israelis and Arabs, jews and Muslims.

"We stood together and looked at the destruction and devastation caused by an Iranian missile fired indiscriminately with the sole intention to take innocent lives in a hospital," he said.

"This is a war crime!" declared the President.

"We see two things: we see the face of evil and terror spread by the Ayatollahs in Tehran, and at the same time we see the resilience and strength of Israeli society, united in our desire to see all the peoples of this region live in peace," added Herzog. (ANI/TPS)

Targeting hospitals is absolutely unacceptable, no matter the conflict. As Indians who've seen terrorism from across our borders, we understand Israel's pain. Hope the international community takes strong action against Iran. 🇮🇳

Very disturbing news. The photo of Jewish and Muslim doctors standing together shows humanity still exists amid this madness. Why can't Iran understand that violence only breeds more violence? 😔

While I condemn the hospital attack, Israel should also reflect on its own actions in Gaza. Both sides need to stop this cycle of violence. As an Indian, I've seen how border tensions can spiral out of control.

The Iranian regime is becoming more dangerous by the day. India should be careful in its dealings with Tehran - we've seen how they support terrorism in our neighborhood too. Stay strong Israel! 🙏

Interesting how the hospital had both Jewish and Muslim staff working together. That's the real Middle East we don't see in news. The politicians ruin everything with their agendas. Salaam-Shalom from India!

This is heartbreaking. Hospitals should be safe zones. Reminds me of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai where even hospitals weren't spared. The world needs united action against state-sponsored terrorism.
