Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared in a post on X that Israel “will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran,” after a missile hit a hospital in the Jewish state.
“This morning, Iran’s terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in the center of the country,” Netanyahu said in the Hebrew-language post on X, according to a translation into English.
Israel began bombarding the Islamic Republic of Iran last week in a bid to stamp out the threat posed by the hostile radical regime’s nuclear weapons ambitions, and has continued attacking this week.

Trump declared in a Tuesday Truth Social post, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding.

Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
