SHOTLIST: BEERSHEBA, ISRAEL (JUNE 24, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS ON STRIKE-HIT BUILDING 2. VARIOUS OF DAMAGED BUILDINGS, VEHICLESBEERSHEBA, ISRAEL - JUNE 24, 2025: The death toll rose to four after a missile fired from Iran struck a residential building in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba on Tuesday, June 24, shortly before a cease-fire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump was set to take effect. According to Israel’s emergency medical service (MDA), four people were killed and two others were moderately injured. An additional 20 people sustained minor injuries. “The building is in a very populated area, and there is a lot of destruction. A large part of the building collapsed, and there are people trapped,” Beersheba’s deputy mayor told Israeli Army Radio. Israeli media also reported explosions in Tel Aviv and central Israel around the same time. Iranian missiles targeted the northern city of Haifa and Ramat David Air Base in the north, Press TV said. Israel's airspace has reopened after a short period of closure due to Iranian missiles, Israel's public broadcaster KAN said on Tuesday. Iranian missiles came in response to overnight Israeli attacks, in which the Israeli army targeted Iranian military sites and commanders in Tehran, and killed a nuclear scientist, Mohammad Reza Siddiqi, according to Iran’s state TV. Seyyed Mostafa Sadati Armaki, another nuclear scientist from Kashan, central Iran was killed along with his entire family by an Israeli strike on Monday, according to Press TV. At least nine people were killed and 33 injured in the western province of Gilan by the latest Israeli attacks, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said. Four residential buildings were completely destroyed, and a large number of houses were also damaged, the agency added. Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee said Israeli warplanes carried out attacks on the western region of Iran, claiming to have destroyed missile storages and launcher platforms that were ready to launch as part of the last missile salvo on Israel. Iranian media said the ceasefire came into effect after the "final salvos" of missile fire. Meanwhile, there was no official confirmation of the ceasefire from the Iranian authorities. The Israeli government announced in a statement on Tuesday that it has agreed on the ceasefire proposal of US President Donald Trump with Iran, claiming to have “removed the double existential threat in the nuclear and the ballistic missile areas.” “In addition, the IDF (Israeli army) achieved full air control in the skies of Tehran, severely damaged the military top brass, and destroyed dozens of Iranian central government targets,” the statement said. The ceasefire was initially announced by Trump, who said it would involve a phased halt to operations, with Iran beginning the ceasefire first and Israel following 12 hours later. A full end to hostilities would then be declared at the 24th hour. Qatar was reported by Israeli media to have mediated the agreement. Iran launched a barrage of missiles at the US military’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, marking a dramatic escalation in tensions following the US targeting of three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday. The US attacks were the latest escalation in a US-backed Israeli military assault on Iran since June 13, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory attacks on Israel.
