Defense Minister Yisrael Katz excoriated the Iranian regime after it deliberately targeted Soroka Hospital and civilian areas in a missile strike on Thursday morning. B’Chasdei Hashem, the missile hit an old surgical department building that was evacuated only yesterday. In an incredible neis, the Health Ministry ordered the hospital to evacuate the area only hours before the attack, as it was deemed unsafe in case of an attack. Although the building and nearby buildings were heavily damaged, all patients and staff were in protected spaces, and only one person was lightly injured. However, several people were severely injured in Holon, and dozens were lightly injured both in Holon and Ramat Gan.

How far did Baal worship extend in the Kingdom of Yisrael when Yehu arrived on the scene, and how deep did it go? A close reading of the pesukim provides the answer.

Overnight (Thursday), 40 IAF fighter jets, with the precise intelligence direction of the IDF Intelligence Directorate, struck dozens of military targets in Tehran and additional areas throughout Iran, using over 100 munitions. As part of the strikes, and as part of the broad effort to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the nuclear reactor in the area of Arak in Iran was targeted, including the structure of the reactor’s core seal, which is a key component in plutonium production. Construction of the reactor began in 1997 but was not completed due to international community intervention. The reactor was originally intended for the production of weapons-grade plutonium, capable of enabling the development of nuclear weapons.

Israel struck Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor on Thursday, according to Iranian state television. Two projectiles were fired at the facility around 6 a.m. local time, IRIB said. The report said there was “no radiation danger whatsoever” and that the facility had already been evacuated before the attack. Israel’s military had warned earlier Thursday morning it would attack the facility and urged the public to flee the area. In what appeared to be a retaliatory attack, Iran hit the largest hospital in southern Israel. The Arak heavy water reactor was a focus of the 2015 nuclear deal with the US and other powers, because heavy water (or deuterium oxide) can be used to produce plutonium – providing Iran with a second pathway to a potential nuclear bomb, beyond enriched uranium.
