At site of hospital strike, Sa’ar condemns Iran’s ‘unacceptable war crimes,’ says war will go on

Speaking to the press at the site of this morning’s ballistic missile attack by Iran on Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says Israel’s operation against the Islamic Republic will continue “until the mission is complete.”

“This is clearly a war crime,” says Sa’ar, pointing to the site of the missile impact behind him, saying the strike “reflects the Iranian regime’s consistent strategy. They are deliberately targeting civilian population, civilian targets, civilians, children, elderly people. It is unacceptable.”

“Over the past few hours, I have received numerous calls from foreign ministers around the world condemning this attack. But this is just one example — they’ve done this again and again in recent days,” he says.

“We will continue our operation in Iran. We have a highly detailed plan, we know exactly what we are doing, and we will keep striking nuclear targets and ballistic missile infrastructure. We will not stop for even a single minute until the mission is complete,” the foreign minister says.

Earlier today, Sa’ar instructed the Foreign Ministry to open a foreign press operations center at the hospital, in an effort to spread media awareness of Iran’s attacks on Israeli civilians.
