Photo Essay: Israel’s Night In the Line of Fire
Jerusalem, 15 June, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- Ten Israelis were killed and some 200 were injured in overnight Iranian missile barrages. Throughout the night, The Press Service of Israel’s photographers documented the attack and rescue efforts
Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on Friday, citing intelligence that Tehran had reached “a point of no return” in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. According to Israeli defense officials, Iran has developed the capacity to rapidly enrich uranium and assemble nuclear bombs, with sufficient fissile material for up to 15 weapons.
Israeli intelligence also exposed a covert program to complete all components of a nuclear device. The strikes mark a dramatic escalation in what officials describe as a broader Iranian strategy combining nuclear development, missile proliferation, and proxy warfare aimed at Israel’s destruction.
