Israeli hospital faced retaliation from Iran
A rocket strike hit Be'er Sheva's main hospital on June 19, a report from Liter.kz citing AP News revealed.
The strike caused damage to the Soroka medical center, leading to patient evacuations. The Israeli Magen David Adom rescue service confirmed that at least 65 injuries occurred throughout the country.
In addition to the hospital, residential buildings in Ramat Gan, Holon, and a high-rise in the Tel Aviv area were also hit by rockets. Critically injured individuals remain in hospitals.
Israel retaliated by striking Iran's nuclear reactor in Arak. Although Iranian authorities argued there was no radiation threat due to the site being evacuated prior, tensions continued to mount.
Curiously, Israel targeted sites in Iran on June 13, which sparked explosions in Tehran, and a state of emergency was declared along with the closure of the airspace. Iran struck back on June 14, launching a wave of rockets into Israel, part of its "Fierce Retribution" operation.
A video emerged depicting an Iranian rocket hitting a residential area in the Israeli city of Rishon Letzion.
On June 15, Israel targeted Iranian military sites. Amidst all this, Kazakhs were evacuated from the Middle East on June 18.
NOTE: It's essential to clarify that, when it comes to the events discussed above, they appear to reflect the conflict situation in June 2025 rather than in 2021. The significant escalation and timeline of hostilities that occur within this period are based on accounts from multiple sources and do not correspond to any reported incidents in June 2021, as the data provided primarily focuses on events in June 2025. Information on incidents from June 2021 pertaining to the Iran-Israel conflict, if required, may necessitate further specific research beyond the provided search data. Here's an overview of the relevant events within June 2025 according to sources:
- June 13-15, 2025: Israel carried out widespread airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, including strikes on Tehran and other locations like Mashhad airport and Shiraz military bases.
- Iranian top military and nuclear scientists, like IRGC commander Hossein Salami and scientists Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, were killed in the strikes.
- Iran retaliated by arresting alleged Israeli agents and issuing warnings of a heavy price, causing diplomatic talks on the nuclear program to be called off.
- This marked a significant escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict, described as the "beginning of a prolonged operation" by Israel to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The escalating war-and-conflicts between Iran and Israel, as evident in June 2025, have significantly impacted politics and general news, with frequent reports of strikes on civilian areas and military facilities, such as the one hitting Be'er Sheva's main hospital, residential buildings in Ramat Gan, Holon, and a high-rise in Tel Aviv, and the Iranian nuclear reactor in Arak. The repercussions of these conflicts extended beyond the Middle East, with Kazakhs being evacuated from the region in June 2025.
