Missile Strike on Israeli Hospital Leaves Over 30 Injured

Israel's Mossad intelligence agency has reportedly established a secret drone base near Tehran as part of a covert campaign targeting Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure, according to a senior Israeli security official cited by The Times of Israel. The operation, which involved the Israel Defence Forces, included smuggling precision weapons and elite commandos into Iranian territory. Mossad activated drones to strike surface-to-surface missile launchers aimed at Israel, while commandos deployed precision-guided missiles near Iranian anti-aircraft sites. The operation effectively disabled Iran's air defense systems, allowing Israeli aircraft to achieve air superiority, officials stated. Furthermore, a series of covert sabotage missions targeting Iranian air defense and long-range missile facilities were conducted. These strikes mark a significant escalation in the longstanding Israel-Iran conflict, with Israel conducting widespread airstrikes against dozens of strategic sites linked to Iran's military and nuclear programs, including the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. In response, Iran declared a national state of emergency as Israel braces for potential retaliation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of attempting to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump on two occasions, branding him “enemy number one” due to his strong opposition to Iran’s nuclear program. "They want to kill him," Netanyahu stated during an interview with Fox News, emphasizing Trump’s role in dismantling the Iran nuclear deal and authorizing the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Netanyahu shared that he himself had been targeted by Iran, recounting a missile strike on his home. He characterized the current situation with Iran as an urgent existential threat, highlighting the country’s efforts to accelerate its ballistic missile development and uranium enrichment for nuclear weapons. "We were facing an imminent threat," he explained. In light of these developments, Netanyahu dismissed the possibility of diplomatic negotiations with Iran, insisting that military action is necessary to mitigate the Iranian threat. He also expressed solidarity with the United States, stating, “Our enemy is your enemy,” and underscored Israel’s commitment to protecting not only its own security but the stability of the broader world.

An Iranian missile reportedly breached Israel's Iron Dome air defense system and struck the Israeli Defense Forces' headquarters in Tel Aviv, as tensions between the two nations escalate. This incident follows two waves of Israeli airstrikes against Iranian targets, which officials confirm were aimed at nuclear facilities and military sites, prompting Iran to retaliate with missile strikes on Friday night, June 14, 2025. Video footage shared on social media appears to show the missile successfully penetrating the Iron Dome as explosions rocked areas near Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, with sirens warning residents to take shelter. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that "all of Israel is under fire," attributing the surge in hostilities solely to Iran's actions. In response, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned Israel's actions as a "reckless act," asserting that Iran's armed forces are prepared to confront any escalation. IDF spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani characterized the situation as teetering on the brink of "all-out war." Analysts predict further military actions as both nations remain locked in this dangerous tit-for-tat exchange.
