Netanyahu Visits Bat Yam Missile Strike Site, Vows Response to Iran Attack

The Local Journalist Desk : Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the site of a devastating Iranian missile strike in Bat Yam on June 15, 2025, where a direct hit on an apartment building killed six civilians, including women and children, and wounded dozens more. The attack, part of a broader Iranian retaliatory barrage following Israeli strikes on Tehran, left 61 buildings damaged, with several facing demolition. Netanyahu, briefed by rescue teams still searching for missing individuals, condemned Iran’s actions, vowing that Tehran would “pay a very heavy price” for targeting civilians.

The Israeli military continues to intercept incoming missiles while conducting strikes on Iranian targets, as the Home Front Command urges residents to stay near bomb shelters amid ongoing tensions.
