A hospital in Tehran was struck by an Israeli rocket attack earlier today, according to a spokesperson from the Iranian health ministry, Al Jazeera reports citing state media.

“This is the third hospital in Iran to be attacked. Six ambulances and a comprehensive health service center have also been brutally attacked by the Zionist enemy,” the ministry’s PR head said in a statement carried by IRNA.

“In seven days of cowardly aggression, there were more than six cases of violation of international conventions by [Israel].”

Earlier in the week, the Likud party run Israeli government, in a direct missile attack, had targeted the Farabi Neurology and Psychiatry Hospital in Iran’s Kermanshah.
