On June 15, as millions around the globe celebrated International Father's Day, countless Palestinian fathers in Gaza were burdened with grief over their lost children. They faced the heavy task of not only mourning their losses but also safeguarding their families amidst the violent backdrop of war.
Amidst this turmoil, U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the escalation between Israel and Iran, expressing hope for a swift resolution but acknowledging that sometimes conflicts need to be fought out. He reaffirmed America’s strong support for Israel's defense during these tense times.
On June 16, significant damage was inflicted as Iranian forces targeted Israel with ballistic missiles, striking port infrastructure near Haifa. Following these attacks, videos captured the chaos in Tel Aviv where residential buildings were hit, resulting in smoke and flames as Iran launched retaliation in response to Israel's earlier strikes.
The violence intensified after Israeli assaults on Iranian nuclear and missile facilities claimed the lives of military personnel and civilians. In retaliation, Iran executed a new barrage of missile strikes that reportedly killed at least three individuals and injured dozens more in Israel.
In a stark warning, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz declared that residents of Tehran would also face consequences for Iran’s missile aggressions against Israel. The Iranian Health Ministry reported a staggering toll from Israeli strikes, counting at least 224 fatalities and over 1,400 injuries since June 13.

It's encouraging that the US is standing with Israel during this difficult time.

This entire article seems designed to justify more violence. It's propaganda, not news.

Consequences" declared by the Israeli minister. A subtle threat against Tehran to justify violence!

The missile strikes on Israeli infrastructure are unacceptable. They are a clear violation of international law.

It's important to remember that Israel is under constant threat from its neighbors. This is a real danger.

It's a tragedy for any father to lose a child. Hopefully, the violence ends soon.
