Breaking News: Death Toll Rises in Israel Amidst Iranian Missile Attacks
Iranian Hypersonic Missiles Strike Haifa: Airstrike Impact Confirmed
The latest reports indicate a minimum of eight fatalities and over 90 injuries in Israel following Iran's air attacks. Earlier, four deaths were reported. Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem have experienced impacts, with rescue teams scrambling to locate survivors in the rubble of Haifa.
Iran launched a fresh wave of attacks on Israel overnight, with city centers like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem under the watchful eye of Israel's air defense. Haifa suffered several fires, allegedly due to hits on a power plant near the port, according to British security firm Ambrey, who cited video footage showing two hypersonic missiles striking the city.
Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has vowed retaliation against Iran's leadership, stating, "Tehran's dictator has morphed into a cowardly murderer who deliberately targets Israeli civilians to deter our army."
As search and rescue efforts continue, civilian shelters have been vacated. It's crucial to note that, as of the latest available reports up to June 17, 2025, there have been no confirmed reports of hypersonic missile strikes targeting Haifa or detailing specific casualties in Haifa from such attacks within the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict[1].
This escalating conflict has claimed more lives on both sides. In Israel, over a dozen people have died and hundreds have been injured by Iranian attacks. Over in Iran, at least 224 fatalities and nearly 1300 injuries have been reported since Israel launched its major offensive on Thursday night, according to the Iranian Health Ministry[2].
