Israel went to war with Iran on June 13th, a decision that will reshape the Middle East. A week later Mr Netanyahu is riding high, overseeing a campaign that he has dreamed of for decades. Mr Trump seems to have forgotten his qualms about intervention.

Israel called the attack "criminal", while Iran said it had targeted a site nearby and not the hospital itself.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) used its long-range, two-stage Sejjil missiles in a recent round of missile strikes targeting Israel, according to Iran's media. Newsweek has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment.
