Monday, June 16, 2025 - The Israeli military on Sunday, June 15, announced that citizens could leave shelters following a fresh wave of missile attacks launched from Iran.
The directive came after sirens had sounded across various
parts of the country, warning of incoming threats.
“Following the situational assessment, the Home Front
Command published that it is now permitted to leave protected spaces in all
areas across the country,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
The latest exchange followed Israel’s unprecedented strike
on Iran on Friday, June 13, in which its military targeted nuclear and military
sites, reportedly killing top commanders, nuclear scientists, and dozens of
civilians. The assault, described as an attempt to cripple Iran’s defensive
infrastructure, marked a major escalation in hostilities between the two
long-standing adversaries.
In response, Iran launched a series of missile attacks aimed
at Israeli territory. The Iranian strikes killed at least 10 people overnight,
pushing the death toll to 13 since Tehran began its retaliatory campaign on
Friday. Iranian authorities also reported at least 380 people injured during
the missile barrage.
Meanwhile, Iranian media reported that Israel’s attack on
Friday, June 13, and Saturday, June 14, claimed at least 128 lives in Iran,
including children. Hundreds of others were reportedly wounded, according to
figures cited from the Iranian health ministry.
As tensions continue to mount, the situation has triggered
widespread concern across the region, with both nations exchanging fire for a
third consecutive day. On Sunday, Iranian media reported that a strike had hit
the Tehran police headquarters, while images showed heavy traffic and residents
attempting to leave the capital through major routes in the city’s west.
