Iranian drone and missile attacks against Israel: June 21, 2025

Israel vs Iran flags


Iran launched 11 attacks against Israel on June 20, 2025: 10 drone attacks and one small ballistic missile barrage consisting of five missiles.

All missiles were intercepted, but their shrapnel and remnants caused property damage. Additionally, one of Iran’s drone attacks impacted for the first time since the onset of the war, hitting a residential building in northern Israel. It was unclear, however, if the impact was the result of the drone being intercepted by the Israel Air Force and falling in a residential area.

It was the fifth day in a row in which Iran’s attacks failed to cause any Israeli fatalities and the first in which Iranian strikes wounded no Israelis.
