Residential areas in Israel take ‘direct hit' after series of Iranian drone and missile attacks

Israel's national emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) reported a 'direct hit' on a residential building in the Palestinian-Israeli town of Tamra, killing at least three women and a 13-year-old girl. A later wave of strikes struck buildings in a residential area in the central Israeli city of Bat Yam, killing at least four.

Major U.S. cities on high alert following airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities
Authorities in New York and Washington are on high alert after U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday night. "We're tracking the situation unfolding in Iran," NYPD said in a post on X. "Out of an abundance of caution, we're deploying additional resources to religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites across NYC and coordinating with our federal partners. We'll continue to monitor for any potential impact to NYC." Shortly thereafter, the Metropolitan Police Department released a similar statement on the social media platform. "The Metropolitan Police Department is closely monitoring the events in Iran," the statement said. "We are actively coordinating with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to share information and monitor intelligence in order to help safeguard residents, businesses, and visitors in the District of Columbia." MPD said there are no known threats to the District, but that it will increase its presence at religious institutions across the city. Paul Mauro is a Fox News contributor and former NYPD Inspector who monitored terror cells in the city. "[NYPD] will put out special attention patrol cars at locations that could track to the conflict in places that have an Israeli connection, and there's a couple of Shia mosques - Iran, is Shia - and there are a couple of Shia mosques," Mauro told Fox News Digital. "You never know what's going to develop. So [they'll] liaise with those communities. They'll talk to them, they'll put special patrol, special attention patrol." "In some instances, they'll even put out what they call a 'HOW' car, which is called a 'house of worship car,' which is, they'll park a marked car right in front of the location." More than anything, Mauro said, the authorities are monitoring online chatter from potentially dangerous bad actors. "You're going to look very closely online," he said. "You're going to be monitoring a lot of the online stuff. NYPD has a very robust cyber counterterrorism program, and you're going to do that very heavily." Mauro said that local authorities in Washington will do the same, and also that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will be keeping a close eye on who is entering the country. "You're also going to be looking closely at things coming into the country, to the extent that you can, like at the border, at the airports … CBP is going to be on high alert."

Live updates: Trump says US military struck 3 Iranian nuclear sites
President Donald Trump says the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel's effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran's threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict. Update: Date: 2025-06-22 01:49:10 Title: Japan evacuates group from Iran Content: Japan's Foreign Ministry said that 21 Japanese residents of Iran and their family members arrived safely in Baku, the capital of the neighboring Azerbaijan, after evacuating by bus. It was Japan's second evacuation from Iran. Update: Date: 2025-06-22 01:47:06 Title: US used 'bunker buster' bomb to strike deeply buried nuclear site, Trump tells Hannity Content: The U.S. dropped six 'bunker buster' bombs to strike the deeply buried Fordo nuclear fuel enrichment plant, Fox News' Sean Hannity says President Donald Trump told him in a phone call. The Israelis say their offensive has already crippled Iran's air defenses and significantly degraded multiple Iranian nuclear sites. But to destroy the Fordo plant, Israel appealed to Trump for the 30,000-pound bunker-busting American bomb known as the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which uses its weight and sheer kinetic force to penetrate underground and then explode. The bomb is currently delivered only by the B-2 stealth bomber, which is only found in the American arsenal. If confirmed, this would be the first combat use of the weapon. Update: Date: 2025-06-22 01:44:12 Title: New York police raising security Content: After the U.S. strikes in Iran, police in New York City said they were increasing security at religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites, out of 'an abundance of caution.' The NYPD said it's tracking the situation, coordinating with federal law enforcement agencies and will continue to monitor for any potential impact to the nation's largest city. The NYPD has a robust intelligence and counterterrorism operation, with detectives posted around the globe. It's common for the department to beef up security at places like synagogues and mosques, as well as diplomatic installations, when world events warrant. Update: Date: 2025-06-22 01:33:04 Title: Congress reacts Content: Republicans leaders in Congress praised Trump's decision to strike Iran. U. S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican who was briefed by the White House ahead of the strike, said in a statement, 'President Trump has been consistent and clear that a nuclear-armed Iran will not be tolerated ... That posture has now been enforced with strength, precision, and clarity.' U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the Iranian regime's 'misguided pursuit of nuclear weapons must be stopped.' U.S. Linsdey Graham, a longtime Iran hawk and Republican from South Carolina, wrote online: 'This was the right call. The regime deserves it.' Meanwhile, elected Democrats and some far-right Republicans questioned the move, particularly without authorization from the U.S. Congress. 'Horrible judgment,' said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. 'I will push for all Senators to vote on whether they are for this third idiotic Middle East war.' Said conservative Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, 'While President Trump's decision may prove just, it's hard to conceive a rationale that's Constitutional.' Update: Date: 2025-06-22 01:29:50 Title: Nonproliferation group condemns attacks Content: The Washington-based Arms Control Association, which focuses on nuclear nonproliferation, said the attack was an 'irresponsible departure from Trump's pursuit of diplomacy and increases the risk of a nuclear-armed Iran.' 'The U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear targets, including the deeply fortified, underground Fordo uranium enrichment complex, may temporarily set back Iran's nuclear program, but in the long term, military action is likely to push Iran to determine nuclear weapons are necessary for deterrence and that Washington is not interested in diplomacy,' it warned. Update: Date: 2025-06-22 01:27:24 Title: Iranian state media confirms strikes on nuclear sites, quoting officials Content: Iran's state-run IRNA news agency reported early Sunday that attacks also targeted the country's Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites. IRNA quoted Akbar Salehi, Isfahan's deputy governor in charge of security affairs, saying there had been attacks around the sites. He did not elaborate. Another official confirmed an attack targeting Iran's underground Fordo nuclear site.

Why Countries Are Suddenly Broadcasting Their Spies' Exploits
Israel's airstrikes on Iran exploded across the world's screens as a public display of military firepower. Underpinning that was a less visible but equally vital Israeli covert operation that pinpointed targets, guided the attacks and struck Iran from within. Agents from Israel's spy agency, Mossad, operated inside Iran before and during the initial attacks earlier this month, Israeli officials said. The disclosure was itself an act of psychological warfare—a boast of Israel's ability to act with impunity inside Iran's borders and Tehran's failure to stop it.
