YNET: Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a statement to the media at the site of the direct missile hit in Holon, and for the first time threatened to eliminate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. “Preventing the existence of Khamenei, the modern Hitler – one of the goals of the operation,” he said. “A dictator like Khamenei, who leads Iran and has inscribed the destruction of Israel on his flag – he cannot continue to exist.”

This will be the final straw for the regime:
They just hit Soroka hospital, one of the major hospitals in Israel.

Katz added that Khamenei “has great ideological influence, he uses all his resources for the cause, and today we see proof that he is giving orders to shoot at hospitals. We see that he should not be on the agenda.”

At least 147 casualties from the missile barrage launched by Iran Thursday morning arrived at hospitals across the country, including from impact sites in Ramat Gan and Holon, as well as those who evacuated independently. Some 37 wounded were evacuated to Wolfson Hospital in Holon, 36 to Ichilov in Tel Aviv, 21 to Sheba in Tel Hashomer, 14 to Beilinson in Petah Tikva, 16 to Assaf Harofeh in Beer Yaakov, 13 to Barzilai in Ashkelon, six to Mayanei HaYeshua in Bnei Brak, three to Assuta in Ashdod and one to Schneider in Petah Tikva. Six were classified as being injured seriously.

El Al announced the expansion of rescue flight destinations to Israel, with two flights expected to take off from New York and one from Bangkok Thursday night. Read about rescue flights here.

The company is preparing to operate rescue flights next week from major destinations where many El Al passengers are, and to which there is “high connectivity” from many destinations – London, Paris, Larnaca, Athens, Rome, New York, Los Angeles and Bangkok.

Rocket alert sirens sounded in the Gaza border community of Nahal Oz early afternoon on Thursday. The alarms were later determined to be false.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei attacked the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, stating that he “betrayed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and turned the IAEA into a partner in an unjust war and violence by Israel.”

“Misleading narratives have bad consequences. You have turned the IAEA into a convenient tool for non-NPT member states to deny its members their basic rights,” he added.

Following the Iranian missile barrage Thursday morning, the Lithuanian embassy in Israel reported that the direct hit in Ramat Gan occurred approximately 200 meters from its location; no damage was caused. The Austrian embassy is located in the same building, as well as the Kenyan embassy. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs also reported that minor damage was caused to the country’s embassy building in Ramat Gan. “Diplomatic missions, which are protected under international law, must not be harmed,” the Kenyan Foreign Ministry stated. “They should be kept away and protected from any conflict.”
