Israel Medical Association chairman Prof. Zion Hagay condemns the Iranian missile strike on a Beersheba hospital, calling it a war crime.
“The eyes of the whole world should be turned this morning to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba to understand what a war crime really looks like,” Hagay says.
He calls on the international medical community to strongly condemn the Iran strike, saying that “while Israel targets security objectives, the Iranians deliberately shoot at population centers to harm as many civilians as possible.”
“It is only because of the hospital’s preparedness that a much greater disaster was averted,” he says.
