He stated that the resulting blast caused only superficial damage to a small, largely evacuated part of the nearby Soroka Military Hospital, which primarily treats Israeli soldiers involved in the conflict in Gaza, where 'Israel' has reportedly destroyed or damaged 94 percent of Palestinian hospitals.
Araghchi condemned Israel as the initiator of the ongoing violence, accusing it of targeting hospitals and civilians, and noted that hundreds of innocent Iranians have been killed since 'Israel' launched what he called an “illegal war” against Iran last week.
He called on 'Israelis' to comply with Iranian evacuation orders before strikes and to avoid military and intelligence sites, warning that Iran’s armed forces will continue to target those responsible until they end their aggression.
