Iranian drone and missile attacks against Israel: June 24, 2025

Iran launched eight attacks against Israel on June 24, 2025: one drone attack and seven missile attacks. These attacks were concentrated in the hours leading up to the Iran-Israel ceasefire, which went into effect at 7 am, with two attacks occurring after the truce.

Israel intercepted most of the missiles. However, one direct hit on a bomb shelter in a building in Beersheva killed four Israelis. Separately, the Israeli Air Force shot down 15 drones that Iran fired at Israel overnight. However, these drones do not appear to have crossed into Israeli territory and, therefore, did not trigger any alerts.

As the direct conflict between Israel and Iran comes to a close, it is estimated that Iran has fired 591 missiles at Israel since the onset of the war. Twenty-eight people were killed in these attacks, and 3,431 were wounded.
