Missiles launched from Iran, Israeli military says

We've just heard from the Israeli military, which says it has identified missiles launched from Iran.

It says air defence systems are "operating to intercept the threat" and is telling people to go into shelters and stay there until further notice.

The details of the reported missile launch are still unclear – we haven't seen Iran confirm the attack.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn7ze4vmk2pt?post=asset%3A3c6bf094-ccc2-4eb6-bd4c-d04b9354bfb0#post

Israel’s military says it had detected another Iranian barrage of missiles hours after the start of the ceasefire, showing how dangerous the situation remained, the Associated Press (AP) reports.

The army says it has identified missiles launched from Iran 2.5 hours after the start of ceasefire.

Sirens sounded in northern Israel and explosions could be heard as Israeli air defenses fired.

3. Israel will 'respond forcefully' to Iran ceasefire violation
Tue Jun 24, 2025, 04:26 AM
Jun 24
Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday he has ordered the country’s military to respond forcefully to what he said was Iran’s violation of a ceasefire with Israel, Reuters reports.
...
Katz said the military had now been instructed to carry out high-intensity operations against targets in Tehran.

He said:

In light of Iran’s blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States – through the launch of missiles toward Israel – and in accordance with the Israeli government’s policy to respond forcefully to any breach, I have instructed the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) … to continue high-intensity operations targeting regime assets and terror infrastructure in Tehran.

Iran denies firing missile at Israel

Iranian state media has responded to Israel’s accusations, saying Iran denies reports that it fired a missile at Israel after the ceasefire began.

Are you saying that there's something wrong or weak about making sure civilians can reach safety while being attacked? It's unfortunate that Ukrainian civilians don't have this protection, but there's no value to having non combatants and women and children exposed - that is certainly not a measure of any moral high ground.

Maybe I misinterpreted your post.

The men and women walked around the bombing rubble and bodies as they went to work or the shops.
Even the King and Queen of England got up the morning after a raid and walked the bombed out streets.
The Royal Family refused to evacuate from London to safer parts of England.

They did it to show Hitler he could not break them.

The Brits definitely believed they were taking the moral high ground and were sending
a clear message to the German Nazis.

An ironic footnote as, had that strategy continued they probably would all be dead. They required outside intervention to persevere and move the Nazi focus to defense rather than bombing England. Without that, they'd have been wiped out defiantly walking amongst their rubble.

IDF Cpl. Eitan Zacks, girlfriend Noa Bogoslavsky killed in Iranian missile strike

Corporal (Cpl.) Eitan Zacks and his girlfriend, Noa Bogoslavsky, were among the five killed Tuesday morning by an Iranian missile strike in Beersheba, the IDF and the Arad municipality announced.

Cpl. Zacks, 18, from Beersheba, was in combat training in the Multidimensional Unit (888).The medic course he was taking as part of his training was held online due to the security situation.

Bogoslavsky, from Arad, was a graduate of Ort Arad High School, according to the city's mayor, Yair Maayan.

In addition to those killed, 20 were wounded in Beersheba as sirens sounded across Israel as part of three large ballistic missile salvos from Iran between 4:45 a.m. and 7:10 a.m.

Unless you ignore this fact, which you appear to be doing, your insistence on mistrusting Israel in the same way you mistrust Iran is not credible.

You keep insisting that their deaths are a matter of trust when they are a matter of fact, and then you compare matters of fact to matters of trust. It's a losing argument.

I did not want to see the same fate befall thousands of Iranian - or Israeli - children. Based on a lie that Iran broke a ceasefire by firing after the ceasefire had started. Or based on any lie. Or even if it were true. No other children should suffer the fate of Palestinian children - or men, women -ever.

An Israeli military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with military regulations said Iran launched two missiles at Israel hours into the tenuous ceasefire. Both were intercepted, the official said.

Iranian state television reported that the military denied firing missiles after the start of the ceasefire -- while condemning Israel for predawn strikes of its own.


https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/israel-held-off-on-bigger-iran-strike-after-speaking-to-trump-netanyahu/

Our press is worthless.

Also note that there was a 6-hour period before the ceasefire was to start. Iran fired 3.5 hours into this time period, according to Haaretz. But the IDF official painted this as "hours into the ceasefire" and our stupid press ran with it. No surprise that Trump did too. He is extraordinarily stupid.
