Iran launched a devastating missile attack on Israel on June 19, 2025, targeting civilian areas and causing widespread destruction. The assault included over 30 ballistic missiles fired at central and southern Israel, with direct hits in Holon, Beersheba, and Tel Aviv. Iranian forces knowingly targeted residential neighborhoods and a major hospital, showing blatant disregard for innocent lives.
The city of Holon suffered catastrophic damage when an Iranian missile obliterated an entire residential block. Apartment buildings were reduced to rubble, trapping residents under debris. This was part of a calculated Iranian barrage designed to inflict maximum civilian casualties.
In Beersheba, a missile struck the Soroka Medical Center complex, though the hospital had been evacuated beforehand. Iranian officials falsely claimed they targeted an intelligence site nearby. The attack still caused significant structural damage to vital healthcare infrastructure.
Tel Aviv faced multiple strikes, with missiles hitting Ramat Gan and Azor. These attacks damaged shops, apartments, and homes. Over 220 Israelis were injured, with four critically wounded and 16 suffering moderate injuries. Cluster munitions were found in one missile, spreading smaller explosives across neighborhoods.
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed immediate retaliation, announcing intensified strikes on strategic Iranian targets and government sites in Tehran. Prime Minister Netanyahu pledged to hold Iran’s leaders accountable for these war crimes against civilians.
This aggression follows years of Iranian threats to destroy Israel and covert nuclear activities. Just days earlier, international inspectors declared Iran non-compliant with nuclear safeguards for the first time in two decades. Iran’s actions prove it cannot be trusted with dangerous weapons.
Diplomatic efforts repeatedly failed to curb Iran’s violence, as the regime ignores international norms. Weak negotiations and sanctions relief only emboldened Tehran’s terror campaign. Strong military action is now essential to protect innocent lives and regional stability.
America must stand unwaveringly with Israel against this evil regime. Freedom-loving nations must support decisive measures to cripple Iran’s war machine and prevent further atrocities. The safety of our ally and global security demand nothing less.
