Israeli media aired footage of blown-out windows and heavy black smoke.<br \/>\nSeparate Iranian strikes hit a high-rise apartment building in Tel Aviv and other sites in central Israel. At least 40 people were wounded, according to Israel\u2019s Magen David Adom rescue service.<br \/>\nIsrael, meanwhile, carried out strikes on Iran\u2019s Iran\u2019s Arak heavy water reactor, its latest attack on Iran\u2019s sprawling nuclear programme, on the seventh day of a conflict that began with a surprise wave of Israeli airstrikes targeting military sites, senior officers and nuclear scientists.<br \/>\nIran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel, though most have been shot down by Israel\u2019s multi-tiered air defences, which detect incoming fire and shoot down missiles heading toward population centres and critical infrastructure. Israeli officials acknowledge it is imperfect.<br \/>\nThe missile hit the Soroka Medical Centre, which has over 1,000 beds and provides services to the approximately 1 million residents of Israel\u2019s south.<br \/>\nA hospital statement said several parts of the medical centre were damaged and that the emergency room was treating several minor injuries. The hospital was closed to all new patients except for life-threatening cases. It was not immediately clear how many were wounded in the strike.<br \/>\nMany hospitals in Israel activated emergency plans in the past week, converting underground parking to hospital floors and move patients underground, especially those who are on ventilators or are difficult to move quickly.<br \/>\nNo radiation danger\u2019 after strike on reactor<br \/>\nIranian state TV, meanwhile, reported the attack on the Arak site, saying there was \u201cno radiation danger whatsoever\u201d.<br \/>\nAn Iranian state television reporter, speaking live in the nearby town of Khondab, said the facility had been evacuated and there was no damage to civilian areas around the reactor.<br \/>\nIsrael had warned earlier Thursday morning it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area. The Israeli military said Thursday\u2019s round of airstrikes targeted Tehran and other areas of Iran, without elaborating.<br \/>\nThe strikes came a day after Iran\u2019s supreme leader rejected US calls for surrender and warned that any military involvement by the Americans would cause \u201cirreparable damage to them\u201d.<br \/>\nIsrael had lifted some restrictions on daily life Wednesday, suggesting the missile threat from Iran on its territory was easing.<br \/>\nAlready, Israel\u2019s campaign has targeted Iran\u2019s enrichment site at Natanz, centrifuge workshops around Tehran and a nuclear site in Isfahan. Its strikes have also killed top generals and nuclear scientists.A Washington-based Iranian human rights group said at least 639 people, including 263 civilians, have been killed in Iran and more than 1,300 wounded. In retaliation, Iran has fired some 400 missiles and hundreds of drones, killing at least 24 people in Israel and wounding hundreds.The Arak heavy water reactor is 250 kilometres southwest of Tehran.<br \/>\nHeavy water helps cool nuclear reactors, but it produces plutonium as a byproduct that can potentially be used in nuclear weapons. That would provide Iran another path to the bomb beyond enriched uranium, should it choose to pursue the weapon.<br \/>\nIran had agreed under its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers to redesign the facility to relieve proliferation concerns.<br \/>\nIn 2019, Iran started up the heavy water reactor\u2019s secondary circuit, which at the time did not violate Tehran\u2019s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.<br \/>\nBritain at the time was helping Iran redesign the Arak reactor to limit the amount of plutonium it produces, stepping in for the US, which had withdrawn from the project after President Donald Trump\u2019s decision in 2018 to unilaterally withdraw America from the nuclear deal.<br \/>\nThe International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations\u2019 nuclear watchdog, has been urging Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear sites. IAEA inspectors reportedly last visited Arak on May 14.<br \/>\nDue to restrictions Iran imposed on inspectors, the IAEA has said it lost \u201ccontinuity of knowledge\u201d about Iran\u2019s heavy water production \u2014 meaning it could not absolutely verify Tehran\u2019s production and stockpile.<br \/>\nAs part of negotiations around the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to sell off its heavy water to the West to remain in compliance with the accord\u2019s terms. Even the US purchased some 32 tons of heavy water for over USD 8 million in one deal. That was one issue that drew criticism from opponents to the deal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30054\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30054\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30054\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/17926103970568669024-300x157.jpeg\" alt=\"Iranian Missile Hits Main Hospital In Southern Israel As Strikes Wound At Least 40\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iranian Missile Hits Main Hospital In Southern Israel As Strikes Wound At Least 40<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tel Aviv, Jun 19: An Iranian missile slammed into the main hospital in southern Israel early Thursday, wounding people and causing \u201cextensive damage\u201d, according to the medical facility.
