Stand for Israel  |  June 16, 2025

Iran continues to fire missile barrages at Israel:

Eight people were killed by Iranian ballistic missiles that slammed into Israeli cities in at least five locations early Monday, and nearly 300 others were injured, as the conflict entered a fourth day.

Four people were killed in Petah Tivka, three in Haifa, and another person in Bnei Brak.

The Health Ministry said 287 people were hospitalized nationwide as a result of the barrage of Iranian missiles. One person was listed in serious condition, and 14 were moderately injured, including two at Schneider Children’s Hospital in Petah Tikvah. The remainder were lightly injured or suffered acute shock.

Two missiles also hit Tel Aviv, causing significant damage to a number of buildings, as well as some injuries.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed in a post to X that the embassy branch in the coastal city was slightly damaged from an impact, but there were no injuries to staff. He said the American embassies and consulates remain closed, with a shelter-in-place order still in effect. The US embassy itself is located in Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Israel continues to batter military targets in Iran, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says that Israel is “on the way” to destroying Iran’s missile and nuclear threat. Pray for Israel’s success as it fights for its life, for wisdom for Israel’s leaders, and for protection for the Israeli people.
