More than a dozen injured in Israel in Iranian missile strikes
At least 16 people were hurt and at least one impact was reported in central Israel after Iran launched two waves of missiles at the country following the U.S. bombing of its nuclear sites, rescue services and reports said. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said in a statement that it had "evacuated 16 people to hospital, including a 30-year-old man in moderate condition after being wounded in the upper body by shrapnel." Public broadcaster KAN 11 showed images of a devastated building surrounded by mounds of rubble that it said was in central Israel, following the two waves of missiles launched at Israel from around 7:30 am local time. Israeli security forces and first responders gather at the site of an Iranian strike that hit a residential building in the Ramat Aviv area in Tel Aviv on June 22, 2025.

JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty Images Sirens rang around the country after the Israeli army reported the incoming missiles, with air defenses activated shortly afterwards, causing loud explosions heard in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israeli police reported "the fall of weapon fragments" in a northern area encompassing the port of Haifa, where local authorities said emergency services were heading to an "accident site". Reporting on missile strikes is subject to strict military censorship rules in Israel, but at least 50 impacts have been officially acknowledged nationwide and 25 people have been killed since the war began with Iran on June 13, according to official figures. Coastal hub Tel Aviv, the southern city of Beersheba and the northern port Haifa have been the three areas most frequently targeted by Iran. Israel's sophisticated air defenses have intercepted more than 450 missiles along with around 1,000 drones, according to the latest figures from the Israeli military.

Child among 2 migrants who died attempting to cross English Channel to Britain in small boat
A woman and a child died on an attempted illicit overnight sea crossing Wednesday from France to Britain. It brings the number of deaths this week on the risky migration route to at least three, French maritime authorities said. At least 14 people have died so far this year. French rescue services found the woman and child unconscious aboard a small boat carrying nearly 80 migrants off the Pas de Calais coast of northern France, maritime authorities said in a statement. A French Navy vessel took aboard 10 other people who asked to be rescued from the boat, it said. The rest of those aboard the boat then continued into British waters, while the French naval vessel transported those who had been rescued to the French port of Calais, it said. Earlier this week, one person died and another was reported missing at sea after a boat overloaded with migrants broke apart during another attempted overnight crossing of the English Channel. The missing person's body has not been found, French maritime authorities said. More than 12,500 people have crossed the English Channel on small boats so far in 2025, according to U.K. government figures.
