Photos: Iranian missiles hit Israel after US bombs Iran's nuclear sites
Published On 22 Jun 2025 22 Jun 2025
Iran has carried out a barrage of missile attacks against Israel, hours after the United States attacked key Iranian nuclear sites.
Loud explosions were heard in coastal hub Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Sunday shortly after the Israeli military reported incoming Iranian missiles and activated air defences.
Sirens rang in Israeli cities, with rescue services and media reports saying at least 20 people were injured.
Israeli police reported 'the fall of weapon fragments' in an area near the northern port of Haifa, where local authorities said emergency services were heading to an 'accident site'.
Tel Aviv, Haifa, and the southern city of Beersheba have been the three Israeli areas targeted by Iran frequently.
Reporting on missile strikes is subject to strict military censorship rules in Israel, where at least 50 impacts have been officially acknowledged nationwide and 25 people have been killed since the war started on June 13, according to official figures.
Iran has warned of 'everlasting consequences' after President Donald Trump claimed the US attacks 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Fordow and Natanz.
Meanwhile, Iran's National Nuclear Safety System Centre and the United Nations nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), say there has been no increase in radiation levels following the US strikes.

Israel recovers bodies of three Gaza captives as it kills 29 Palestinians
Israeli forces say they have recovered the bodies of three captives held in the Gaza Strip since the Palestinian group Hamas's 2023 attack, the military said. The military on Sunday said the bodies of Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano, and soldier Shay Levinson were recovered from Gaza 'in a special operation'. Samerano's father had announced earlier on Sunday that his 21-year-old son's body, which was taken into Gaza after he was murdered on October 7, 2023, had been recovered by the Israeli army. Keidar, a 71-year-old mother of three, was also killed on the day, while 19-year-old tank commander Levinson 'engaged and fought terrorists on the morning of October 7 and fell in combat', a statement from the military said. More than 1,100 people were killed and about 250 taken captive during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, according to Israeli authorities. At least 50 of those captives remain in Gaza, with 20 reportedly still alive, Israeli media say. Hamas has repeatedly said it is ready to release all Israeli captives in exchange for a permanent end to the war on Gaza, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave, and the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. But Netanyahu has rejected the terms and continued his war on the Strip, which has killed about 56,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children – a brutal offensive that the United Nations, most governments, and rights groups call a genocide. More recently, starving Palestinians desperate for food and other essential items are being shot, with more than 400 people killed and nearly 2,000 wounded since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a shadowy group backed by the United States and Israel, began distributing aid last month. Israeli forces killed at least 29 Palestinians since dawn on Sunday, six of them while seeking aid, hospital sources in Gaza told Al Jazeera. Gaza's Ministry of Health said at least 51 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours. Since March 18, when Israel broke a fragile two-month ceasefire and launched a massive assault on Gaza, at least 5,647 Palestinians have been killed and 19,201 wounded, according to the ministry. An Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza on Sunday said at least six people were killed overnight during an Israel-imposed internet blackout that lasted five hours and was accompanied by heavy Israeli artillery firing targeting areas in eastern and central Gaza. Three of them were killed after a rocket hit a tent housing displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi to the west of Khan Younis city. A man and his wife were killed in another strike targeting an apartment to the north of Nuseirat. Medical services in Gaza say ambulances have completely stopped operating in Gaza City due to Israel's ban on fuel entering the enclave. The Israeli blockade of food and medicines has pushed its entire population of more than two million to the brink of starvation. On Sunday, Pope Leo XIV called on the world not to forget the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as the war in the Middle East broadened with overnight US strikes on Iran. 'In this context that includes Israel and Palestine, there is a risk that the daily suffering of peoples is forgotten, in particular in Gaza and other territories, where there is an ever greater urgency for adequate humanitarian aid,' the pope said.
