Israeli forces are responding with fierce determination after Iranian missiles struck a southern Israeli hospital early Thursday morning. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed swift and overwhelming retaliation against Iran’s cowardly attack on innocent civilians. This act of terror against a medical facility shows Iran’s true nature as a rogue state.
The Soroka Medical Center suffered extensive damage with multiple wards hit by Iranian fire. Windows were blown out and heavy black smoke filled the corridors as doctors treated the wounded. At least 40 Israeli citizens suffered injuries in this unprovoked assault on sovereign soil. This hospital serves over a million residents in Israel’s south.
Iran continues its pattern of aggression by firing hundreds of missiles toward Israeli population centers. Most were thankfully intercepted by Israel’s advanced defense systems protecting our families. Yet even one missile hitting a hospital proves Iran’s evil intentions against innocent men, women and children. They target the vulnerable deliberately.
Prime Minister Netanyahu rightly raged against this barbaric attack on a place of healing. He promised Iran would pay a severe price for targeting Israeli civilians. Strong leaders like Netanyahu understand you can’t negotiate with terrorists – you must defeat them decisively. Patriots know weakness only invites more attacks.
Israel’s brave soldiers immediately struck back at Iran’s nuclear terror program. They hit the Arak heavy water reactor which fuels Iran’s illegal atomic weapons ambitions. This reactor produces plutonium for bombs that could kill millions. Israel acted to protect not just itself but the entire free world from this threat.
The United Nations failed yet again to stop Iran’s nuclear terror. Inspectors admitted they’ve lost track of Iran’s dangerous materials due to Tehran’s trickery. While global bureaucrats talk, Israel takes real action to keep us safe. The world should thank Israel for doing the dirty work others are too scared to do.
Iran’s reckless aggression threatens every freedom-loving nation. Their missiles could easily hit American bases or European cities next. We stand with Israel not just because it’s right, but because Israel’s fight is our fight. When terrorists attack our closest ally, they attack all of us.
The brave people of Israel will rebuild and stand stronger than ever. They know the price of freedom requires facing evil head-on. America must back our strongest Middle East ally without hesitation as they defend civilization itself against Iranian terror. God bless Israel in this just fight for survival.
