During the morning attack, Iran launched a missile at Be'er Sheva, which fell near residential buildings, causing significant damage to nearby structures. According to the Magen David Adom organization, six people sustained minor injuries. They were admitted to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva, which continues to operate despite the previous day's rocket strike on the medical center.
Near the explosion site is also the Microsoft building, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that it was the target of the strike, as half of Israel's income comes from the export of technology companies, and Microsoft collaborates with the Israeli military in the field of artificial intelligence and missile interception technologies.
According to the IDF, the Air Force conducted a series of strikes on Tehran overnight, targeting dozens of Iranian military facilities and a nuclear research center. Three ballistic missile launchers ready to attack Israel were targeted, resulting in the death of a commander at the site. According to the military, more than 60 fighter jets participated in the attack, dropping 120 munitions.
"Among the targets were military industrial facilities for the production of missile components and facilities for the production of raw materials used for casting rocket engines," stated the Israel Defense Forces.
Strikes were also carried out on the "headquarters of the SPND nuclear project," reports the military department, a facility that had already been targeted during the conflict. "SPND serves as a center for research and development of advanced technologies and weapons for the military potential of the Iranian regime. It was established in 2011 by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the founder of Iran's nuclear weapons program," the military department's statement said.
Another facility that was hit was used for the production of "a component necessary for the regime's nuclear weapons program," adds the Israel Defense Forces.
On Friday, the air war between Israel and Iran entered its second week, and European officials attempted to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table after President Donald Trump stated that any decision on possible US involvement would be made within two weeks.
