New footage released by the Iranian Red Crescent shows CCTV video of an Israeli strike on a hospital in Iran, expanding the geographic scope of documented attacks on healthcare facilities beyond Lebanon and Gaza. The release of the footage marks a rare visual record of an alleged strike on Iranian medical infrastructure, as Israel has not publicly commented on the incident.
At least 57 medical workers in Lebanon have been killed in Israeli military strikes since March, according to reporting by Al Jazeera, raising serious concerns about the protection of healthcare personnel under international humanitarian law.

The toll underscores a broader pattern of strikes on civilian infrastructure that has drawn condemnation from human rights organisations monitoring the ongoing conflict in Lebanon.
