Iran launched a total of eight attacks against Israel on June 20, 2025: six drone attacks and two ballistic missile barrages. One barrage consisted of one missile that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) failed to intercept due to an interceptor system malfunction. The second barrage consisted of 20-25 missiles, and two impacts—at least one of which appears to have been a cluster munition—were recorded in Haifa and Beersheba.
For the fourth day in a row, none of Iran’s attacks directly caused any fatalities. However, one woman died of a heart attack during the attacks, and 51 people were wounded.
An unnamed Israeli military official told Reuters that the IDF estimates it has struck two-thirds of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers—up from its June 17 appraisal of having destroyed 40 percent of the launchers. This total would leave Tehran with an estimated 100 remaining launchers.

The missile fell in Beersheba, causing a fire that led to extensive damage to several vehicles and 18 houses. Six people were lightly wounded.
Attack #5 – Hostile Aircraft Intrusion: At 1:46 pm, alerts sounded after a drone launched by Iran crossed into Israeli territory, targeting several locales in the Northern District’s Golan Subdistrict.

Attack #7 – Missile Attack: At 3:36 pm, Iran launched a barrage of 20-25 missiles at Israel, targeting the Northern District, the Haifa District, the Central District, the Tel Aviv District, the Judea-Samaria District, and the Southern District. One missile fell in Haifa and wounded 45 individuals, three of them severely due to shrapnel injuries. The impact in Haifa directly hit an abandoned building. However, it caused significant damage to surrounding residential and other structures, including the Masjid Al Saghir and Al Jarina Mosques, where the impact wounded clerics inside. A 51-year-old woman died from a heart attack in the northern city of Karmiel in the Northern District’s Acre Subdistrict.
Another missile fell in Beersheba, which was likely a cluster bomb. Twenty-six smaller explosives came off the warhead and caused significant damage, including to a daycare center and two homes, but no casualties were reported. Missile fragments and shrapnel were found in several areas in Shfaram, the Golan Heights, Elkana, and other portions of the Southern District.
