Jerusalem, June 19 (EFE).- A hospital located in the Beersheva region, southern Israel, suffered a direct impact this Thursday during the latest Iranian missile launch against Israel shortly after 7:00 local time (4:00 GMT), firefighters reported, without reporting any personal injuries at the moment.
According to local media, the affected center is Soroka Hospital.
"Scene in the southern district: direct impact on a medical center, a fire broke out at the scene," confirmed the fire department in a statement, which also detailed impacts without injuries in the Dan district, which encompasses the city of Tel Aviv and its metropolitan area, and in central Israel.
According to images on social media, a strong smoke cloud flooded the center after the impact, which suffered severe damage to a facade of more than four floors, in addition to broken glass and widespread destruction inside. Vehicles near the center were also carbonized.
No injuries have been reported at the hospital where, according to the Haaretz newspaper, staff were on the ground floor in order to mitigate the risk to their lives in the event of an impact.

At least three people are seriously injured, including a man in his 60s, one is in moderate condition, and seven have minor injuries after an impact in the central city of Holon, according to paramedics from the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom.
