Iran has fired a new wave of missile strikes at Israel, striking a hospital in the country’s south.

Israel’s foreign ministry said the Soroka Hospital in Beersheba had been severely damaged in the strikes.

Air raid sirens rung through Tel Aviv and Jerusalem about 7am local time (4am GMT), as explosions rocked the cities.

“A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the military said in a post on Telegram.

The fresh attack comes as Donald Trump on Wednesday weighed up joining Israel’s attack on Iran.
