Sara Bushri, a volunteer at Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center, says it is a miracle that nobody was injured in the Iranian ballistic missile strike on the hospital this morning, describing how debris fell onto the beds of the patients.

“We thought the explosion was right inside the ward. Everything fell apart. Glass, ceilings – everything fell. We evacuated everyone and fortunately not a single patient was hurt, even though there was glass on the beds,” she tells the Kan public broadcaster.

“We quickly took all the patients to a lower floor and to protected areas,” she says. “We received a great miracle from heaven.”
