Israel Faces Multiple Missile Waves from Iran Amid Ceasefire Uncertainty

Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran, missile attacks from Iran towards Israel continued into the early hours of June 24, 2025. Iran launched multiple missile salvos, with between 10 and 15 ballistic missiles fired in six waves, some of which were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome, while others caused casualties and damage, including a strike on an apartment building in Beersheba killing at least three people. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran would cease hostilities if Israel stopped its attacks by a specified deadline, but Israeli airstrikes reportedly continued, prompting further Iranian missile launches. Israel's government and military have not publicly acknowledged the ceasefire, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holding closed-door security meetings and advising silence on the matter. The situation remains tense and unresolved, with both sides exchanging fire despite the ceasefire claims, underscoring the fragile and volatile state of the conflict.
