Iranian ballistic missile struck several areas of Israel on Thursday, with extensive damage reported at the Israeli stock exchange building in Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv, as well as a major hospital in the south of the country.

Images seen by Middle East Eye showed shattered glass and debris strewn onto the streets outside the stock exchange, the heart of the country's economy, with damage also reported at several nearby offices and residential buildings.

Meanwhile, unverified footage posted on social media showed people running through corridors of the Soroko Hospital in Beer Sheva as doctors stood outside the wrecked building.

"BREAKING: A direct hit has been reported at Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva, southern Israel. More details to follow," the foreign ministry said in a post on X.

A spokesperson for the hospital reported "damage to the hospital and extensive damage in various areas".
