60 CIVILIANS, INCLUDING 20 CHILDREN, KILLED IN ISRAELI STRIKE ON SINGLE BUILDING IN IRANIAN CAPITAL

Sat 14 June 2025:

An Israeli airstrike targeted a residential building in the Iranian capital Tehran on Friday, killing 60 people, including 20 children, according to Iran’s state-run media on Saturday.

“60 people, including 20 children, were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in Tehran’s Shahid Chamran Township,” Iranian Press TV reported.

In the early hours of Friday, Israeli forces attacked Iran, hitting nuclear and missile facilities and killing over 104 people, including top military commanders and scientists, and injuring nearly 380 people.

According to reports, Iran responded with ballistic missiles targeting several areas across Israel, killing three people and injuring over 170 others.

The Israeli army said late Friday that Iran had launched fewer than 100 missiles toward the country, claiming that most of them were intercepted.

“Fewer than 100 missiles were fired towards Israel in two barrages,” the Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee wrote in his X account, claiming that most of them were intercepted.

A small number of buildings were damaged, including some by shrapnel from interception operations, he added.

At least 35 Israelis were injured, including two in critical condition, four in moderate condition, nine in light-to-moderate condition, and 21 lightly injured, when Iranian retaliatory ballistic missiles targeted several areas across Israel, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported.

The Israeli military said dozens of missiles had been launched from Iran and that air defense systems were working to intercept them.

Alarms rang throughout Israel as a result of the missile launches, including in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, signaling a national state of alert.

Channel 14 confirmed that one missile struck Tel Aviv, causing plumes of smoke to rise from the impact site.

Israeli Army Radio said a fire broke out near the Defense Ministry’s headquarters in Tel Aviv following the missile strike.

Israel launched a massive attack early Friday, deploying around 200 aircraft to target Iran’s nuclear program and long-range missile capabilities. The strikes killed senior Iranian military officials as well as nuclear scientists.

Iran has vowed “severe punishment” and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to hold Israel accountable for its actions.
