New missile attacks from Iran: Israel on alert!
On the night of June 16, 2025, another dramatic incident occurred in the Middle East: Israel was attacked again with missiles from Iran. In this tense situation, Israel's defense systems are actively deployed to counter the threat, while the population has been put on alert. People were asked to go to shelters and stay there to stay safe, reports said np-coburg.de.
Before this new rocket fire occurred, the Israeli Air Force had carried out preemptive attacks on military targets in Iran. These bombings specifically targeted surface-to-surface missile launch pads to prevent possible future attacks. According to the Israeli military, this was a targeted measure to forestall the aggressive offensive by the Iranian armed forces.
Iran countered with waves of attacks
On June 13, three days before the latest incident, Iran responded with a massive counterattack on Israel. According to Israeli military sources, fewer than 100 rockets were fired at the Jewish nation. 21 people were injured in these attacks, including two seriously. Fire and rescue services were deployed in several cities after impacts occurred in populated areas, which also damaged buildings.
The Iranian armed forces sent two and, according to their own statements, three waves of attacks towards Israel, targeting military targets and air bases. The Israeli military said most of the rockets were intercepted or missed the target; however, there were reports of multiple impacts.
The reaction from Jerusalem
At the same time, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, expressed threatening words and vowed "revenge" for the Israeli attacks. This threat increases the already high tensions in the region. Iranian news agencies also report that Israeli fighter jets were shot down, but Israel vehemently denies this. The squeaky situation is further fueled by reports of casualties within the Iranian military leadership; Senior military officials were killed in the Israeli strikes, including the army commander and the leader of the Revolutionary Guard.
The Iranian attacks, which began after Israel launched its airstrikes on targets in Tehran and its surrounding areas, reopen the debate over the number of missiles fired at Israel during these conflicts. A recent report from Statista from May 2025 shows the developments of the last few years and illustrates the ongoing threat of missile attacks in the context of the Middle East conflict.
Given these developments, it remains to be seen how the situation will continue to unfold and what further steps both Israel and Iran will take to secure their strategic positions. The conflict is far from resolved – it will remain exciting.
