Iran launched a new round of missile attacks on Israel on Monday morning, June 23, 2025, targeting Tel Aviv and several other location, as reported by Israel’s Channel 12. The renewed offensive marks a continued escalation in the ongoing war between the two states, now entering its 11th day.
Channel 12 stated that more than 10 missiles were launched by Iran, with at least five landing in different parts of Israel. Though Iranian state sources claimed the barrage was limited, Israeli officials contest that the attack was broader in scope. At the time of reporting, there are no confirmed casualty figures.
As the missiles entered Israeli airspace, Israel’s interior authorities activated nationwide emergency protocols, urging civilians to move to shelters. “Citizens should seek immediate shelter and avoid unnecessary movement,” authorities warned in advance of the strikes.
In a parallel development, ballistic missiles were also launched toward Israel from a different source. According to Iranian media, the additional missiles originated from Yemen, suggesting broader regional coordination in Tehran’s confrontation with Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military continues to strike Iranian positions daily. According to Iranian state-affiliated outlets, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that nine of its members were killed and several more injured during Israeli airstrikes on Sunday night, June 22.
These developments come in the wake of a significant U.S. air campaign against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. On Sunday morning, June 22, American warplanes bombed the three main nuclear facilities in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—in what U.S. officials described as a strategic effort to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities.
The conflict began on Friday, June 13, 2025, when Israel launched a large-scale air operation, “Operation Rising Lion,” using over 200 fighter jets to bomb more than 100 targets across Tehran and other Iranian cities. The operation resulted in the deaths of senior military commanders and nuclear scientists, triggering Iran’s retaliatory missile campaign.
According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), as of Sunday, June 22, 2025, at least 865 individuals have been killed in Iran since the onset of hostilities, with over 3,396 wounded. The report emphasizes that a significant portion of the casualties are civilians.
The ongoing hostilities have drawn widespread international concern. Several global leaders and organizations, including the United Nations, the European Union, and members of the G7, have called for immediate de-escalation and a return to diplomatic channels.
As the war intensifies, with daily aerial exchanges and mounting casualties, the potential for a broader regional conflict continues to grow.
