A series of US and Israeli airstrikes struck Tehran and other cities including Bandar Abbas, Shiraz, and Isfahan, causing extensive damage to civilian infrastructure. Multiple hospitals and health facilities were hit, including the Gandhi Hospital, and the UNESCO-listed Golestan Palace was damaged. The Iranian Red Crescent reported a death toll of 787 people, with emergency services confirming fatalities including two children in a Tehran suburb. The World Health Organization verified at least 13 attacks on health sites in the capital. The strikes forced evacuations and created a situation described by a resident as involving checkpoints and ongoing air attacks.
In retaliation, Iran launched missile strikes against Dubai and Tel Aviv. In Dubai, debris from an intercepted missile killed a Pakistani driver, while in Israel, a direct strike on a residential building in Tel Aviv killed a woman and wounded dozens. A separate strike on Beit Shemesh killed several people, including three teenage siblings. These attacks prompted the closure of major airports like Dubai's, stranding tens of thousands of international travelers and leading several countries to order evacuations. The killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the initial strikes triggered protests globally. A mob stormed the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, resulting in at least nine deaths, with broader protest casualties in Pakistan reaching 21. Demonstrations and clashes also occurred in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and in the Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir.
