On June 24, 2025, Iranian state television reported a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
Despite the announcement, Israel's Magen David Adom reported at least three deaths and eight injuries from early morning attacks. A residential building in southern Israel was heavily damaged.
The conflict began on June 13, 2025, with Israel's Operation Rising Lion targeting over 100 sites in Iran, including nuclear and military facilities.
Iran responded with missile barrages on June 15, 2025, hitting civilian areas in Israel, including Beersheba. The Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba was directly hit.
On June 18, 2025, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the United States against military involvement, threatening "irreparable damage." He criticized former President Donald Trump.
As of June 24, 2025, the ceasefire is not fully implemented, and missile exchanges continue. The international community is concerned about further escalation and the humanitarian impact.
