Israel struck a key Iranian nuclear site Thursday as Iran blasted dozens of missiles at the Jewish state — striking a key Israeli hospital in an attack that left dozens injured and caused severe damage.

The Israeli military said it targeted the Khondab nuclear site near Iran’s central city Arak overnight, including strikes on a partially built heavy water research reactor.

Meanwhile, several Iranian missiles struck populated areas in Israel in an early morning onslaught, including the Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheba, the main hospital in southern Israel.

At least 40 were injured and the hospital, which took a direct hit, sustained significant damage, a video taken inside the facility shows. 

“Dozens of ballistic missiles were launched at Israel in the last barrage from Iran, with several hits to civilian population centres (including the Soroka hospital in southern Israel),” an Israeli military official told The Post. Read more, see photos, and video here.
