“I think that tells you everything” about the difference between Israel and Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday while visiting the site of a hospital hit by Iranian missiles earlier in the day.

The Iranian air attack hit Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheba, the main hospital in southern Israel, injuring at least 80 people, half of whom were hospital staff.

"We are hitting with precision the targets of the nuclear and missile programs, and they're hitting the children's ward of a hospital. That tells you everything," Netanyahu told reporters, noting the stark contrast between a democracy, such as Israel, and the murderous regime in Iran:

“We are hitting with precision the targets of the nuclear and missile programs, and they're hitting a hospital, where people can't even get up and run away. They're hitting not far from here — there's a children and babies ward here.

“That's the whole difference between a democracy taking lawful action to save itself from these murderers —and these murderers whose aim is to destroy every one of us. Each and every one of us, until the very last one among us.”

“I think that tells you everything,” Netanyahu reiterated.
