Iran launched four attacks against Israel on June 22, 2025: three drone attacks and one ballistic missile barrage, in two waves, consisting of 35 missiles. These attacks came in the wake of Operation Midnight Hammer, in which the United States used B-2 stealth bombers and submarines to strike Iranian nuclear installations in Esfahan, Fordo, and Natanz.
Israel intercepted most of the Iranian missiles. However, two impacts occurred, one in Tel Aviv and another in Ness Ziona, causing significant damage and wounding 86 Israelis. Additionally, an Israeli missile interceptor failed and crashed in Haifa.
It was the sixth day in a row in which Iran’s attacks failed to cause any Israeli fatalities. The projectiles were also noticeably less numerous and intense than on previous days, with Tehran launching the smallest number of attacks since the onset of the war.
