Hours after the United States attacked important Iranian nuclear sites, Iran launched a string of missile attacks against Israel.
Shortly after the Israeli military reported incoming Iranian missiles and activated air defenses, loud explosions were audible in coastal Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Sunday.
Rescue organizations and media reports claimed at least 20 people had been hurt when sirens rang in Israeli cities.
Local authorities said emergency services were heading to an “accident site” in an area close to the northern port of Haifa, according to Israeli police reports “the fall of weapon fragments.”
Israel’s three cities, Beersheba, Haifa, and Tel Aviv, have been frequently targeted by Iran.
According to official figures, 25 people have died and at least 50 impacts have been officially acknowledged nationwide since the war started on June 13 in Israel, despite strict military censorship laws that apply to reporting on missile strikes.
After President Donald Trump claimed that the US attacks “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz, Iran has warned of “everlasting consequences.”

10 biggest beauty trends for summer 2025
Mocha bronde

Mocha Mousse is Pantone’s Colour of the Year, and it’s made its way to become a top hair colour trend for summer, says hair stylist and trends forecaster Tom Smith. Described by Tom as “monochromatic and muted”, at the salon ask for neutral mushroom and cool coffee tones running throughout (steer clear of caramels), and you could benefit from using a blue or purple shampoo or conditioner like John Frieda Blue Crush Blue Conditioner, currently £6.89, every couple of weeks, too.
Tubing mascara

If you find that your mascara typically doesn’t last long on your lashes in hot weather, or when sweating or swimming, it’s time to try a tubing mascara. Unlike traditional formulas (think of them like paint), tubing mascaras contain polymers that form ‘tubes’ around each eyelash, lengthening them then setting in place without smudging or flaking. They also remove differently, too, sliding off each hair with warm water and a gentle rub – making them ideal for eyes prone to stinging.
K-beauty

Korean beauty certainly isn’t a new trend, but with the recent launch of cult favourite K-beauty brands in the UK, such as Beauty of Joseon at Boots and Belif on Beauty Bay and Amazon, it’s now easier than ever to give them a try. Korean formulas are known for being especially hydrating with a dewy finish, yet incredibly lightweight, making them ideal for summer, when applying heavy cream in hot weather might not be that appealing.
SPF superstars

Sunscreen is often seen as more of a chore than a treat, but facial SPF formulations have come on in leaps and bounds – so there’s really no excuse not to wear it every day. Merit’s The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50, £34, launched with a waitlist of over 20,000, while beauty editors have been singing the praises of Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen, £38. Created to be make-up-friendly, Olay Brighten & Glow Vitamin C Moisturising Fluid SPF 50+, £26, looks set to be the high street’s big hitter – and you can often find it on offer, too.
Fruity fragrances

Perfumes take their inspiration from fruits, with juicy concoctions creating dreamy scents. Try PHLUR Peach Skin Body Mist, from £25, Ariana Grande R.E.M. Cherry Eclipse Eau de Parfum, currently £36 (usual price £45), or Jo Loves With Love From Como, £135, with zesty notes of grapefruit and clementine. And look out for a lip-smacking new launch from Jo Malone London next month.
Sunscreen oils

They’re back – but with a big difference. Unlike the sometimes dangerously low (or even no) protection tanning oils of the past, Bali Body’s new Watermelon Sunscreen Oil SPF 50, £22.95, comes with super-high broad spectrum sun protection for that gleaming-limb look without risking your skin. It smells incredible, too – like summer in a bottle.
Neck care
Two neck creams worth checking out(Image: Boost Lab, PRAI)
In summer there’s little chance to hide under high-neck jumpers, so if you’re not already paying attention to the skin under your chin, you really should be, say the experts and – judging by all the new neck creams being launched and the interest we get from readers whenever we write about them – it’s clearly an area worth paying attention to. Boost Lab’s Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, £24.99, is good value with impressive shopper results, while Prai Ageless Throat & Decolletage Creme, £31.99, continues to be the best-selling neck cream at M&S.
Butter yellow

Striking the perfect balance between cute and cool, butter yellow continues to be fashion’s colour of the season, with celebrities including Cynthia Erivo, Victoria Beckham and The Princess of Wales all spotted wearing outfits in the surprisingly flattering shade recently. For a low cost, low commitment way to try the trend, pick up a nail polish such as Essie’s Summer Soulstice, £8.99, or OPI’s Nature Strong in Make My Daisy, £18.50. In the nail salon, ask for Bio Sculpture’s Alinta or The GelBottle’s Sorbet shades of polish.
Berry girl make-up

Every season there seems to be a new food-themed make-up style, and this summer it’s ‘berry girl’, made popular by Hailey Bieber (who else?) recently. Although tones of cherry, plum and raspberry worn on lips, cheeks and nails may seem more suited to winter, it’s a surprisingly fresh and youthful summer look. Try Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Blush Stick in Berry Glow, £30, and for lips, e.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm in Yummy Gummy, £9.
Riviera bob

Bobs have been trending for years, but this summer the way to wear them is bouncy and voluminous, yet slightly ruffled and undone – think Aubrey Plaza’s character, Harper, in season two of The White Lotus, embracing just a touch of holiday hair humidity. To get the riviera bob look, “ask your stylist for a straight bob cut just longer than your chin,” says Tom Smith. “Some soft, very long layering should be cut with a shattered finish – avoid steps or blunt lines, and keep any fringe area longer and blended into the rest of the shape.”
Following a previously unheard US attack on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow facility, Iran launched its first retaliatory missile attacks against Israel. In central Israel, air raid sirens have sounded in occupied East Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and at least 11 people have been injured.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised US President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites as “boss, righteous, and historic.” The US strikes have been labeled as a “dangerous escalation,” according to the UN Secretary General.
