Iran, on the other hand, insists that its intended target was a nearby military base, not the hospital.Iran’s state media reported that the missile strike was aimed at the Israeli Army Command Headquarters and an intelligence camp located near the Soroka Hospital. “The hospital was only affected by the blast wave and did not suffer serious damage.
