A hospital in Beersheba, southern Israel, was hit during a wave of missile strikes launched by Iran overnight, leaving the facility heavily damaged and causing injuries across the country.

Soroka Hospital suffered extensive damage, according to a spokesperson, while Israel’s emergency services reported at least 65 people injured in different locations.

Iranian state media said the missiles targeted a military site next to the hospital and not the hospital itself.

Meanwhile, Israel's military confirmed it carried out attacks on nuclear sites in Iran, including the "inactive" Arak heavy water reactor and the Natanz facility.

The strikes came at a tense moment, with former US President Donald Trump reportedly considering direct involvement in Israel’s campaign against Iran.

Though plans to attack Iran have been approved, a final decision is still pending.

Iran’s supreme leader warned that any US intervention would cause "irreparable harm."
