IRAN TARGETS ISRAELI HOSPITAL WITH BALLISTIC MISSILE
Iran escalated its conflict with Israel yesterday, directly targeting Soroka Hospital in Beersheba with a ballistic missile strike. The attack on a civilian medical facility marks a significant escalation in the ongoing hostilities between the two nations. Israeli emergency services responded to the strike in what officials called a deliberate targeting of critical healthcare infrastructure. The conflict has forced several Middle Eastern countries to close their airspace as Iranian missiles and Israeli jets cross their territories.
President Trump has given preliminary approval for military strikes against Iran but is holding back final authorization to give Tehran one last chance to abandon its nuclear weapons program, according to Wall Street Journal reporting. The president has been intensively briefing military advisors on whether America's specialized bunker-buster bombs can successfully penetrate Iran's heavily fortified Fordo nuclear facility, which sits deep underground and can only be reached by advanced U.S. munitions.
