Four Killed in Iranian Missile Strike on Beersheva

According to the Israel Defense Forces, Iran fired six volleys totaling 12 missiles at the Jewish state over the course of three hours, beginning at around 5 a.m. The missile launches came around seven hours after US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” set to take effect at 7 a.m. local time. 

Israeli Air Force fighter jets preempted a larger attack by striking missile launchers in western Iran in the hours leading up to the fire, the military said. 

On Monday morning, air-raid sirens blared across Israel for more than 30 minutes as Iran launched four barrages totaling roughly 15 projectiles, according to the IDF. Five impact sites were reported, with no casualties. 

Since Jerusalem began “Operation Rising Lion” early on June 13 against the Iranian regime’s nuclear and missile threat, the Islamic Republic has fired nearly one thousand missiles and drones at Israeli civilians in major population centers—killing 29, wounding dozens and displacing thousands more and causing widespread property damage.
