According to Reuters, Israeli air strikes hit the Gandhi Hospital in northern Tehran on March 2. The incident has also been confirmed by the World Health Organization.

Two witnesses in the Gandhi Street area told Reuters that the hospital suffered major damage. Patients were evacuated from the site following the strike.
