Hello and welcome to this live blog. Here we will keep you informed of the latest developments regarding the conflict between Israel and Iran.
This photo clearly shows the damage to the exterior of the Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva.
Defense Minister Calls Khamenei ‘Modern Hitler’ Who Must Die Israel Katz believes that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei must die. Katz called Khamenei “the modern Hitler” during a visit to the site of an Iranian missile strike in Holon, near Tel Aviv. This was just reported by Times of Israel.
The Israeli Defense Minister added that the Ayatollah “can no longer continue to exist,” indirectly expressing the intention that Israel wants to kill the highest Iranian leader. According to Katz, Khamenei personally orders the shelling of hospitals and residential buildings, with the ultimate goal of destroying Israel.
Iran May Close the Persian Gulf, Which Would Also Affect the US Iran has mentioned closing the Strait of Hormuz as a possible response to all “foreign aggression,” a member of the National Security Committee told state media Mehr. This would also make the Persian Gulf inaccessible to shipping: the Strait of Hormuz is the only way for ships to reach the Persian Gulf.
In addition to Iran, Bahrain, among others, borders the Persian Gulf, and there is an important American naval base located there. It seems unlikely that the Americans would simply accept such a closure. In addition, a closure would affect the oil trade. Daily, 20 percent of global oil production is shipped from the Gulf States to the rest of the world via the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran Accuses Atomic Agency of ‘Bias’ The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs accuses the IAEA of bias and thus “playing a role in this unjust war.” A spokesperson for the ministry cites a CNN interview with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi on X. In it, Grossi says that there is “no evidence that Iran is systematically working on a nuclear weapon.” According to Iran, that statement comes too late.
Last week, the IAEA issued a report criticizing Iran for not fulfilling its nuclear obligations. That was the first time in almost twenty years. Shortly after that report, Israel began attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Israel attacked because Iran allegedly threatened to make nuclear weapons.
“Misleading reports have serious consequences, Mr. Grossi,” writes the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Iran: ‘Did Not Want to Hit Hospital, But Military Targets’ Iran says that the attack that damaged an Israeli hospital was aimed at command and intelligence centers of the Israeli military nearby. The hospital was “only exposed to the shockwave,” reports state news agency IRNA.
Israel says that several rockets hit the hospital. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of an “attack on the civilian population,” and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called it a “war crime.”
Iran to Speak with European Officials in Geneva on Friday Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with British, French, and German officials in Geneva on Friday, Iranian state television reports. A top diplomat from the European Union will also be present. The three countries have invited Iran to do so.
International media reported on Wednesday, based on diplomatic sources, that the three countries had invited Iran. The European countries want to negotiate an end to the conflict with Israel. In doing so, the EU countries presumably want to agree more specifically that Iran may not use its nuclear program for nuclear weapons.
Atomic Agency Sees No ‘Radioactive Effects’ After Attack on Nuclear Reactor The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirms that the Arak heavy water reactor was hit in an Israeli missile attack. The IAEA has observed no “radioactive effects” after the attack. “The nuclear reactor was not in operation and no nuclear materials were present,” the IAEA reports on X.
Here you can see where the Dutch embassy is located in Tel Aviv.
Dutch Embassy Itself Not Hit, Window Broken The space used by the Dutch embassy in the building was not hit in the rocket impact. At least one window of the building was broken, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told news agency ANP.
Building of Dutch Embassy in Tel Aviv Slightly Damaged The building of the Dutch embassy in Tel Aviv was slightly damaged on Thursday morning by an Iranian missile. The staff is unharmed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports.
Iranian Attack Came Close to Several Embassies In the city of Ramat Gan, which was hit by an Iranian missile attack this morning, there are many international embassies. A tower with several embassies is located a few hundred meters from a building where there has been an impact.
These include the embassies of Austria, Lithuania, and Kenya. They report that their building has not been damaged and that the staff is safe. The Dutch embassy is located in the building next to that tower.
Temporary Malfunction with Israeli App That Warns of Attacks The Home Front Command, an app that Israelis use to be warned of air strikes, among other things, was just out of service. It is unclear how long the app was not working. According to the IDF, there was no threat at the time the app was out of service. It was said to be a malfunction. The army is investigating the incident.
The Home Front Command gives a signal about ten minutes before the air raid siren goes off. That signal is sent when launched rockets are registered in Iran. It is a first sign that people need to find bomb shelters.
Destroyed homes in the city of Holon, located in the center of Israel. Holon was one of the cities that was hit by an Iranian missile attack this morning. Dozens of people have been injured throughout the country.
Israel to Intensify Attacks on Iran Israel will intensify attacks on military targets and government institutions in Iran, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz reports on X. The intensification is intended to eliminate the threat to Israel and “undermine the ayatollah’s regime.”
Iran confirms that it will also continue to attack Israel. “We will continue the attacks on every target of the Zionist aggressor,” reported a top Iranian military official.
Hospital Director: ‘Everyone Was in Bomb Shelters on Time’ All employees and patients of the Soroka Hospital were in bomb shelters on time, the hospital director reports. The building was evacuated as a precaution in recent days. Other buildings of the hospital have been significantly damaged, the director says. A few people were slightly injured, mostly by the impact of the strike.
Smoke swirls up after the rocket impact in the Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva. A spokesperson spoke of several injuries and significant damage.
More Than Forty Injured in Israel More than forty people have been injured after an Iranian missile attack, the Israeli emergency relief organization Magen David Adom reports on X. Three of them are in serious condition. The victims were injured by an explosion and flying shrapnel, among other things.
Israel Attacks Nuclear Reactor in Iran Israel attacked the Arak heavy water reactor this morning. Iranian state television reports that there is no radiation danger. A heavy water reactor is used to obtain plutonium. You can make an atomic bomb with that.
Israel also claims to have hit a factory in Natanz where, according to Israel, nuclear weapons are being developed.
Trump’s Attack Plan for Iran Is Ready US President Donald Trump approved an attack plan for Iran on Tuesday evening, a key intelligence source and an employee of the US Department of Defense told CBS News.
Trump would still wait with the attack because he wants to give Iran the opportunity to stop its nuclear program, the sources say.
Injured in the Hospital, But ‘Many Lives Spared’ People were injured in the rocket impact in the hospital. It is unclear how many and how serious. The floor where the rocket struck was evacuated yesterday due to the conflict, reports the Israeli emergency relief organization Magen David Adom.
A spokesperson for the affected hospital in Be’er Sheva reports that there is a lot of damage to the building.
Iranian rockets that were on their way to Israel on Thursday morning. The photo was taken from Hebron, a city in the occupied West Bank.
Rescuers are on the scene at an affected building in Ramat Gan.

Iran Has Been Cut Off From the Internet for More Than Twelve Hours Iran has been cut off from the internet for more than twelve hours, reports NetBlocks. Earlier, the internet watchdog described the situation as a “virtually total national black-out.”
Iran shut down internet access for the population on Thursday to prevent “the enemy from endangering the lives and property of citizens.” On Wednesday, NetBlocks identified a large-scale internet outage.
Israel Announces Retaliatory Action After Iranian Attacks The Israeli army says on Thursday that it is carrying out a “series of attacks” around Tehran and other parts of Iran. According to the army, these are retaliatory attacks after a “suspicious aerial object” was intercepted from Iran. Shortly after midnight, Iran fired rockets. There were no injuries.
The Israeli military is calling on residents of the Iranian cities of Arak and Khondab to evacuate. A statement in Farsi said that the army is carrying out military actions against Iranian military infrastructure.
Arak and Khondab are close to each other in central Iran. On the outskirts of Khondab is a reactor for nuclear research, reports The Times of Israel.
