Iran‑Israel air war enters second week as Iran fires missiles near Beersheba tech park and hospital

Tehran-The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Mission to the United Nations has firmly denied allegations by what it referred to as the “Zionist regime,” rejecting claims that Iranian forces targeted a hospital during recent hostilities. The denial was reported by Iran’s state-run Mehr news agency.

In a statement, the Iranian mission described the allegations as “false” and part of a disinformation campaign. It emphasized that Iran’s military actions are conducted in strict self-defence and “are precise and fully in line with international law.”

The statement further clarified that Iranian strikes “only target facilities that have directly participated in or supported the Zionist regime’s illegal aggression.”

Highlighting its commitment to international humanitarian law (IHL), the mission added:

“Unlike the Israeli extremists, Iran is committed to and adheres to international humanitarian law and does not target civilians or civilian infrastructure.”

The remarks come amid growing international concern over the rising civilian toll as the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies.

Following Iran’s launching a salvo of missiles towards southern Israel, a loud blast was heard near a Microsoft office in Beersheba.

“Buildings were damaged in the new Iranian missile attack but no casualties reported yet,” Israel Hayom newspaper reported.

In a multidimensional cyberattack, the Israeli regime’s internal communication system was disrupted by an anti-Zionist organisation called ‘Cyber Support Front’, Tasneem News Agency reported.

Details of the operation were revealed in a statement posted by the cyber group on its Telegram channel on Thursday.

“In this multi-dimensional operation, the backbone of the communication network tied to the criminal Zionist army was shattered,” said the group.

It said during this attack, after gaining control, all internal communication infrastructure linked to the “occupying regime” was “destroyed”, including:

• 1- Satellite communications (Gilat, Spacecom), along with control and monitoring stations tied to satellites such as Amos, Dror-1, and Ofek.
• 2- Communication networks of offensive and defensive military systems tied to the army.
• 3- Espionage and surveillance communication networks.
• 4- Communication networks linked to companies such as Elbit, Rafael, and IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries)
• 5- Communication networks and control and monitoring stations tied to critical infrastructure, such as water, gas, and electricity
• 6- National network infrastructure and government communications.

The Cyber Support Front stated that over 50 terabytes of critical data belonging to the occupying regime were extracted, and their storage devices and satellite network infrastructure were destroyed in this major operation.
