Following Iran’s ballistic missile attack on the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba this morning, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar instructs the Foreign Ministry to open a foreign press operations center at the hospital to spread media awareness of Iran’s attacks on civilian centers, the ministry announces.
The operation is being organized with the Government Press Office and “is intended to present to the international media the deliberate attack by the Iranian regime on the hospital and on Israel’s civilian population,” says the Foreign Ministry in a statement.
