#6. High-ranking officials from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and military were killed. This has caused significant confusion within their ranks, slowing both defensive and offensive responses.

#7. Several scientists linked to Iran’s nuclear program were also eliminated.

#8. While a massive amount of damage has been inflicted in a short time on these nuclear and missile facilities, many are deep underground and require multiple rounds of bunker-buster munitions to fully neutralize the threat.

#9. Iran has issued warnings of a major retaliatory response, expected imminently. We're receiving reports of Iranian ballistic missiles being moved into launch positions. Our Air Force is actively eliminating many of these threats as they emerge, but we need your prayers as Israel enters Shabbat and our forces continue pressing the attack.

According to foreign reports, Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is anticipated to announce a declaration of war against Israel within minutes, with dramatic and large scale missle fire as soon as his speech begins.

We lean upon the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Our trust is in Him alone. May his strength be with our soldiers and Airforce! Stand with us in prayer so the world will see God’s salvation and power!

The attack from Iran has started. Live view from our staff’s home in Netanya. Please pray for our safety.

So far 7 injured reported all in light to moderate condition from 5 impact sites. Seeing where the missiles hit, it’s a miracle that more were’t killed or injured!

As of 9:53 around 300 Missiles have been fired at Israel, unfortunately we’re expecting more. The vast majority were intercepted. In Tel Aviv’s impact so far only 4 were lightly wounded and 1 moderately wounded.

Saturday June 14 update: Overnight missile barrages from Iran at 1:30, 4AM and 6AM struck central Israeli cities including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion, killing three civilians and injuring dozens, with 63 confirmed injuries, including one woman who later died from her wounds. 150 ballistic missiles were fired in multiple waves. While Israeli defense systems, including the Iron Dome, intercepted many of these missiles, some penetrated the defenses, resulting in casualties and damage. We’re thankful for the tireless work by our Air Force as knocking out many launchers primed to fired in Iran, prevented a much greater loss of life.

Civilian Accounts and Damage
* Residents described terror, confusion, and destruction as missiles hit homes.
* In Tel Aviv, high-rise buildings shook, smoke filled apartments, and structural damage included ruined lobbies and burst water pipes.

Military and Strategic Context
* The attacks followed Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile factories, and military leaders, killing dozens.
* IDF representatives announced that Tehran air defenses have successfully been eliminated, paving the way for greater attacks in the area.
* The Radar and air defenses of Iran were quickly defeated in this intensive and masterfully planned assault.

Amazing video of Israel intercepting an Iranian drone over the Galilee.

The video was on foreign channels without credit.

Nine senior scientists and experts who played pivotal roles in advancing the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program have been eliminated based on verified intelligence.

Each individual targeted was a critical contributor to the development of Iran’s nuclear arsenal.

Their removal delivers a major setback to the regime’s capability to pursue weapons of mass destruction.

Israeli Home Front Command will shortly activate an advance warning to citizens' mobile phones. Our forces have detected Iranian forces preparing a massive barrage under the cover of darkness. Please pray for the IDF and our allies as they prepare to defend our nation from this attack.

"A very sad and difficult morning. Our sisters and brothers were murdered and injured last night by criminal Iranian attacks against the civilian population in Bat Yam, Tamra and other communities. Jews and Muslims, veteran citizens and new immigrants, including children and the elderly, women and men. I share in the heavy mourning of the families and grieve the terrible loss. I pray for the recovery of the injured and the finding of the missing. We will mourn together. We will overcome together."
The President of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog

These are difficult days and we need your prayer. Join us in prayer for the missing, wounded, and those we’ve lost in this war.

Amazing victory! Homefront command braced the nation for what was brewing as a massive attack! Just then our Airforce took out dozens off launchers primed to go!! Remember the launchers are a very finite supply especially as we’ve taken out the vast majority of their missile industry!
