Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the rocket barrage targeting Israeli hospitals and civilian institutions, stating that “This morning, the terror tyrants of Iran launched missiles toward Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva and toward the civilian population in central Israel. We will exact a full price from the tyrants in Tehran.”
Defense Minister Israel Katz added that this was a grave war crime committed by what he called the “cowardly” Iranian dictator:
“He sits deep inside his fortified bunker and deliberately fires at hospitals and residential buildings in Israel. These are the most severe kinds of war crimes – and [Supreme Leader] Khamenei will be held accountable for his crimes. The Prime Minister and I have instructed the IDF to intensify the attacks on strategic targets in Iran and on government targets in Tehran, to eliminate the threats against the State of Israel and destabilize the ayatollahs’ regime.”
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar also condemned Tehran, saying:
“The Iranian regime fired a ballistic missile at a hospital. It is targeting civilians and committing war crimes. The Iranian regime has no red lines.”
President Isaac Herzog delivered a particularly harsh statement:
“A baby in intensive care and his anxious mother at his bedside, a devoted doctor moving from patient to patient, an elderly woman in a nursing home – these were the targets of this morning’s Iranian missile attack on Israeli civilians.”
He noted that Soroka Medical Center is “one of the best hospitals in Israel,” where Jewish and Arab staff work side by side for the benefit of all residents of the Negev – Jews, Muslims, Israelis, and Palestinians alike.
Herzog added:
“I stand with the medical and nursing staff at Soroka, with the patients and their families, with the residents of Be’er Sheva, and with all the cities that were hit by rockets this morning. At moments like these, we are acutely aware of the gravity of the hour, of what is at stake, and of our values – the values of humanity and human dignity, the values of civilization – all of which are under attack by a jihadist regime that seeks our destruction.”
To be clear, almost every missile Iran has fired at Israel has been a war crime.
as they say: “talk is cheap, but actions speak louder than words”
I think most Israelis would prefer less bluster, more security. After such destruction, the threats against the perpetrators are hollow, unless they are backed up with actionbolster them them.
That’s rich after bombing hospitals shooting children and currently starving an entire population they say ” that this was a grave war crime committed by what he called the “cowardly” Iranian dictator”. Bibi fled to who knows where and has been bombing numerous unfortunate neighboring countries . That description “grave war crime committed by what he called the “cowardly” sounds more accurately like what the (((“Furniture salesman from Cheltenham”)))really is. Answer this
Who is wanted for war crimes by the ICC ?
Who are the two suspending elections?
The pecker piano player and the furniture salesman, two
dirty birds of the same feather.
He is going to do more of what he has been doing because next time it is sure to work.
