Israel-Iran war
Israel launched missile strikes on Iran last week, prompting retaliatory measures from Tehran.
Iranian forces have been regularly targeting Israel’s civilian infrastructure. In particular, a ballistic missile strike last week killed five Ukrainian nationals — three children and two women. They were members of a family from Odesa.
An 8-year-old girl had traveled to Israel to undergo treatment for leukemia. Her father is currently serving on the front lines in Ukraine.
Notably, on the night of June 20, Israel struck Tehran. Fighter jets targeted nuclear facilities in the Iranian capital.
