Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel on Friday afternoon, setting off alarms across the country and sending some 10 million people running to bomb shelters. One woman had a heart attack and died in a shelter in the northern city of Karmiel, while a missile impacted in Haifa, wounding at least 23 people, three of them seriously.
The three seriously maimed in Haifa included a 16-year-old boy who sustained shrapnel wounds to his upper body, and two men, aged 54 and 40, who sustained wounds to their lower bodies, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
The other 20 maimed sustained light injuries, MDA said, adding that all the maimed were taken to hospitals.
The woman who died in Karmiel was identified as Yelena Sadowski, 51. Sadowski collapsed while running to the shelter amid the missile sirens. Medics who arrived at the scene were forced to declare her dead.
Haifa mayor Yona Yahav told news hounds at the scene that the barrage hit "two strategic areas" in the city, without elaborating.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said the missile barrage hit the al-Jarina Mosque in Haifa’s Wadi Nisnas neighborhood.
"The missile attack injured Moslemholy mans who were in the mosque," wrote Sa’ar, adding footage from the scene. "The Iranian regime is targeting Moslem, Christian and Jewish civilians, as well as civilian sites. These are war crimes."
The Israel Defense Forces estimated that the attack included some 25 missiles.
Shockwaves from the missile knocked out stained glass windows and caused infrastructure damage at the Al Jarina Grand Mosque, built in 1775 and extended in 1901.
The low, thick-walled stone building near Haifa’s port usually attracts up to 200 people for Friday prayers, but just 15 turned up because of a Home Front prohibition on large gatherings, according to Wakf representative Khalid Dagash.
He said prayers had ended by the time the missile fell and nobody was left in the building.
One person whose identity he didn’t know was lightly injured outside, he said.
The building was undergoing renovation, said Dagash, adding that he feared government compensation would not be enough to repair the damage.
Windows were also blown out at the even older Masjid al-Saghir, built in 1761. No other damage was visible from the cordon outside.
CLUSTER BOMB ON A DAYCARE CENTER
Footage from Beersheba showed Iran likely targeted the city with a cluster bomb.
Videos and photos showed several impacts of small munitions at multiple locations in the southern city, indicating that a ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead was used in the attack.
One of the small munitions hit a daycare. Two homes in Beersheba also sustained damage, but no one was hurt, police and medics said.
One of the impacts caused significant damage to the Colel Chabad Daycare Center in Beersheba, the organization said.
"Miraculously, no children or staff were physically harmed, as the strike occurred Friday afternoon outside the center’s regular operating time. However,
a woman is only as old as she admits... the destruction of classrooms and play areas has deeply impacted dozens of local families who rely on the center for stability, safety and childcare," Colel Chabad said.
Israel’s fire service said it was putting out a fire that broke out at an impact site in Beersheba.
The apparent targeting of Beersheba with a cluster bomb came after the IDF Home Front Command on Thursday confirmed that Iran had launched at least one ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead at central Israel.
According to the military, the missile’s warhead opened up while descending, at an altitude of around 7 kilometers (4.3 miles), spreading about 20 smaller munitions with roughly 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) of explosives, in a radius of some 8 kilometers (5 miles). Neither Israel nor Iran is a signatory to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which bans the weapons.
Missile fragments were also reported in central Israel. No injuries were caused.
NEW SHELTERS
The Israeli government on Friday approved a Defense Ministry and Home Front Command plan to renovate 500 public bomb shelters and deploy 1,000 mobile roadside shelters across the country, with an estimated cost of 100 million NIS.
"In light of the security situation, the government approved via a phone vote a plan to accelerate home front defense," the Defense Ministry said.
The ministry said the 500 public shelters that will be refurbished are mostly in central Israel, which has been repeatedly targeted by Iran in the past week.
The 1,000 roadside shelters will be placed "in sensitive areas nationwide," it added.
Despite the holdup, several locales in the Gush Dan area have already received portable shelters from the Home Front Command, including Bnei Brak and Ramat Hasharon.
An Iranian ballistic missile struck Beersheba in southern Israel on Friday morning, lightly wounding seven people and causing substantial damage to homes, as Israel and Iran continued their exchange of fire. The southern city’s Soroka Hospital, which was hit by an Iranian strike a day earlier, said it had received seven casualties, all lightly injured.
The missile struck a road near several apartment blocks, creating a large crater and setting several cars on fire. Firefighters rushed to the scene to extinguish the blaze. The shockwave from the impact ripped apart the adjacent apartment building’s balconies and blew out the windows in other surrounding structures, sending glass shards and chunks of debris flying.
Residents of the damaged buildings, the vast majority of whom were sheltering in their bomb safe rooms, were evacuated by police, Magen David Adom medics, and Home Front Command search and rescue soldiers.
MDA said it treated five people who were slightly hurt by the shockwave, blunt trauma, smoke inhalation, as well as acute anxiety. They were taken to Soroka hospital, along with others in the city who were hurt after falling while running to shelters.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Beersheba Mayor Ruvik Danilovich said, “The self-discipline of the residents who immediately entered safe spaces saved lives.”
“There’s major damage, but people acted according to Home Front Command guidelines and saved themselves. Our challenge is to gather the residents and find a solution for them. We’ve prepared for this,” he said.
One missile was fired from Iran in the attack, which was not intercepted by air defenses, an Israel Defense Forces official told The Times of Israel. The IDF reported striking other primed ballistic missile launchers in Iran, foiling a larger attack.
“The Iranians planned this morning a larger barrage at Beersheba. Before the launch, we identified preparations of three primed launchers… we destroyed them,” IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said in a press conference.
Defrin said the Israeli Air Force’s continued strikes on Iran “reduce the harm to the home front.”
Earlier in the night, around 3 a.m., the Israel Air Force said it intercepted three Iranian drones that had triggered sirens in the Dead Sea. Another drone was intercepted over Haifa shortly after midnight, the military said.
TEHRAN STRIKES CONTINUE
The military said on Friday that the IAF had carried out a wave of strikes overnight, targeting dozens of Iranian military facilities and a nuclear research site. More than 60 fighter jets were involved in the strikes, dropping 120 munitions, according to a statement by the military, which added that the targets included “several industrial missile production sites” in Tehran, which had served as “the industrial core of Iran’s Defense Ministry.”
“Among the targets were military industrial sites producing missile components and facilities for manufacturing raw materials used in casting missile engines,” the IDF said.
The strikes also hit the “headquarters of the SPND nuclear project,” the statement added, referring to a site that had already been targeted since the current conflict with Iran began.
“SPND serves as a hub for research and development of advanced technologies and weaponry for the Iranian regime’s military capabilities. It was established in 2011 by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the founder of Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” the statement said.
Another site that was struck had been used to manufacture a “component essential to the regime’s nuclear weapons program.”
The military said that on Friday morning, the IAF struck three ballistic missile launchers primed for an attack on Israel, along with an Iranian military commander who was operating at the launch site in Iran, and issued footage of the strikes.
The strikes, according to the IDF, took place shortly before the missile attack on Beersheba and had foiled a larger attack on the southern city. It issued footage of the strikes.
Earlier in the night, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for Iranian civilians in the Sefidrood Industrial Park and the village of Kalash Taleshan in the country’s northwest. The warning was issued ahead of what the IDF said is a continuation of its strikes on Iranian military infrastructure across the country, but no strikes in the area have so far been reported.
With Iran’s internet being shut off to the outside world, it is unclear just how many people in Iran would be able to see the message.
Additionally, on Friday, the military said IAF fighter jets in recent days struck several Iranian air defense batteries in Isfahan and Tehran, as part of efforts to expand its air supremacy in Iran. The military said the strikes hit the surface-to-air missile launchers and radars, “that were intended to target IDF aircraft and prevent their operations.”
IAF fighter jets and drones “continue to operate freely over Iran, striking military targets of the Iranian regime in western and central Iran,” the IDF said, adding that it will “continue working to expand aerial freedom of action in Iranian skies and to achieve air superiority.”

Israel's military says air defenses intercept Iranian missiles
Tel Aviv, Israel, June 20, 2025, 06:51 — Regnum News Agency. The Israel Defense Forces have recorded the launch of missiles from Iran. Air defense systems are intercepting them, the IDF Spokesperson’s Office reported on June 20.
Israel's military says air defenses intercept Iranian missiles
"Some time ago, the Israel Defense Forces detected missiles fired from Iran towards Israeli territory. Defense systems are working to eliminate the threat," the military clarified on the Telegram channel.
It is noted that an air raid alert was declared in a number of areas of the Jewish state. The population was advised to take shelter from a rocket attack in protected areas.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, a former Israeli intelligence officer admitted in an interview with NBC News that the Iron Dome air defense system is unable to intercept Iran's high-speed missiles. Despite the losses in the Islamic Republic's leadership after the Israeli attacks, Iran still has significant stockpiles of missiles, the source noted.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council said the military would stop launching missile strikes once Israel was punished and compensated for the damage it had suffered.
