Over the past week, Israel has pummeled Iran with airstrikes and Iran has sent barrages of ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel. At least 24 people in Israel and 224 people in Iran have been killed in attacks since June 13, their governments have reported.
Israel’s sophisticated air defense system has in the past fended off attacks from Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Iran. Still, Iranian missiles have tested the multilayered network, and some projectiles have made impact. A strike on Thursday wounded about 80 people at the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, the largest hospital in southern Israel, and caused extensive damage.
