The incident took place on the second day of a joint US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Israeli airstrikes on Sunday hit Gandhi Hospital in northern Tehran, news agency Reuters reported. The incident took place on the second day of a joint US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in earlier strikes.

Iran’s ISNA news agency stated that the hospital was hit by what it described as “Zionist-American air strikes". Video footage from within the hospital showed debris strewn across the floor, with wheelchairs in separate reports from the Fars and Mizan news agencies.

Patients were evacuated and the hospital was badly damaged. “Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital was attacked by Zionist-American air strikes," ISNA said.

Videos circulating on social media platforms showed visible structural damage to the hospital building on Gandhi Street, with shattered windows and debris scattered across the entrance. In separate clips shared by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, nurses could be seen carrying infants in their arms as they rushed to evacuate wards amid blaring alarms.

Two witnesses told Reuters that Israeli strikes had directly hit the hospital area on Sunday, leaving the facility “badly damaged" and forcing staff to move patients into the street.

Videos showed people running in different directions, some shouting for relatives, as smoke rises in the background. The full extent of casualties at the hospital was not immediately clear.

Iranian media also reported that a police station in a city on the outskirts of Tehran was hit by strikes on Sunday (March 1), killing an unspecified number of people, with others said to be trapped under debris.

“Following the enemy attack on the city of Rey, the Rey Police Headquarters building and nearby residential buildings were hit," the Tasnim news agency reported. “According to initial reports, a number of citizens were martyred, and some were trapped under the rubble."

Iranian state television said on Sunday evening that it had been targeted by strikes after a series of powerful blasts rattled Tehran, though it was not knocked off the air. “The technical team is assessing the damage," said the broadcaster, which was also targeted during Iran’s 12-war with Israel in June.

The strike came as explosions were reported across northern Tehran late on Sunday. Israel has said it is taking its campaign to the “heart" of the Iranian capital, following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader in a joint US–Israeli operation a day earlier.

Israel announced it was directing attacks toward central areas of the Iranian capital. In response, Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel, US military bases in the Gulf region, Riyadh, and Dubai.
