According to recent news reports, Israel has been experiencing an increase in missile attacks originating from Iran, with Tel Aviv being a frequent target. Over a series of days, these attacks evolved with striking events:
- June 16, 2025: Iran launched a salvo of ballistic missiles, targeting Israel around 4:30 p.m., with the Tel Aviv and Haifa areas in their crosshairs. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that these missiles missed their marks, as many were intercepted or fell short due to their extensive range (approximately 1,500 km). Although no one was directly hurt by missile impacts or shrapnel, some minor injuries occurred as precautionary measures were taken and people hurried to shelters. Presently, the state of emergency on the Israeli home front has been prolonged till June 30 [1].
- Previous Attacks (June 13-14): The initial missile strikes on Friday and Saturday led to casualties, claims of 13 fatalities and nearly 400 injuries across multiple cities. In Tel Aviv, Magen David Adom reported at least 22 individuals injured on Friday, with emergency services responding to impact sites around the city. On Saturday, a building in central Tel Aviv was hit, causing injuries. Two female medics in the area were wounded by shrapnel, but their injuries were minor. Regrettably, one woman lost her life at the scene, while several others were evacuated following the attacks [3][4].
These attacks have been speculated to be retaliation from Iran, following the IDF's fatal assault on several commanders belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Israeli defense systems have been active in intercepting the incoming missiles, managing to neutralize many but not all, causing both successful intercepts and apparent impacts in Tel Aviv and bordering areas [3][4].
As of now, the situation remains volatile, with continuous military actions and the Israeli authorities persisting with the declared state of emergency [1]. Keep watching this space for the latest updates.
