Iran launched dozens of missiles at Israel, striking the Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheba, a 1000+ bed hospital, and other civilian areas. The attack caused significant damage and injuries, though the exact number of casualties remains unclear. This follows Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran's Arak heavy water reactor, which was evacuated beforehand according to Iranian state media. The reactor produces plutonium, a potential nuclear weapons component. Israel had previously issued evacuation warnings via social media. The Israeli strikes are part of a week-long campaign targeting Iranian nuclear sites, including those in Isfahan and Natanz. High-ranking Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists have also been targeted. The conflict has resulted in hundreds of casualties on both sides. The United States is considering its involvement, with President Trump stating he will make a decision at the last minute. Israel has requested bunker-busting bombs from the US to target Iran's Fordow nuclear enrichment facility. At least 639 people, including 263 civilians, have been killed in Iran since the start of the Israeli bombing campaign last week, according to a Washington-based Iranian human rights group. In Israel, 24 people have died and hundreds have been wounded.
