Israel targeted another hospital in Tehran early Friday, raising the total number of hospitals struck in the capital to three, according to a spokesman for Iran’s Health Ministry.
“Another hospital in Tehran was targeted by rockets from the Zionist regime at 4:45 a.m. on June 20, 2021,” Health Ministry spokesman Hossein Kermanpour said in a statement.
He said that “this is the third Iranian hospital to be attacked. Six ambulances and a comprehensive health service center have also been brutally attacked by the Zionist enemy so far.”
“In the seven days of the cowardly attack, there were more than six cases of violation of international conventions by the claimants of the occupying regime of Jerusalem,” Kermanpour added.
Hostilities broke out last Friday when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks.
Meanwhile, in Iran, 639 people have been killed and more than 1,300 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to Iranian media reports.
