Israeli air defence systems are activated to intercept Iranian missiles over the Israeli city of Tel Aviv amid a fresh barrage of Iranian rockets on June 16, 2025. The Israeli military said early on June 16 that it was striking surface-to-surface missile sites in Iran, its latest move in three days of escalating conflict between the rival states. "The IDF is currently striking surface-to-surface missile sites in central Iran," Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Nadav Shoshani wrote on X. "We are operating against this threat in our skies and in Iranian skies." (Photo by Menahem Kahana / AFP)
