Summary

On June 22, 2025, Day 10 of the Twelve-Day War, Iran launched 2 attack waves (Waves 19-20) with an estimated 40 munitions in Wave 20 alone. The major development was the targeting of Ben Gurion Airport, which was temporarily shut down, forcing flight diversions for 36 hours. Biological research centers and C2 facilities were also targeted.

Wave 19 was a large combined ballistic missile and drone operation targeting strategic targets. No confirmed casualties were reported, but the shutdown of Israel's main international airport represented a significant disruption to civilian life and international connectivity.

Coalition Actions

  • Israeli BMD engaged approximately 40 incoming ballistic missiles in Wave 20 targeting the Ben Gurion Airport area.
  • Ben Gurion Airport temporarily shut down; all flights diverted for 36 hours.
  • Interceptions confirmed across both waves; no confirmed casualties despite airport disruption.

Iranian Actions

  • Wave 19 (06:00 UTC): Large combined ballistic missile and drone operation targeting strategic targets.
  • Wave 20 (10:00 UTC): Approximately 40 ballistic missiles targeting Ben Gurion Airport, biological research centers, and C2 facilities.
  • Targeting of Ben Gurion Airport — Israel's primary international gateway — intended to disrupt civilian and military air operations.
  • Biological research center targeting raised concerns about potential intelligence on Israeli defense-related research programs.

Tactical Assessment

  • Airport targeting: Targeting Ben Gurion Airport disrupts both civilian air travel and potential military resupply flights — a dual-use infrastructure attack with strategic impact.
  • 40-missile salvo: Largest single-wave munition count since the 100-missile opening salvo, designed to saturate BMD in the Tel Aviv corridor.
  • Biological research: Targeting of biological research centers suggests sophisticated Iranian intelligence on Israeli defense-related research programs.
  • Combined then concentrated: Wave 19 (combined missiles/drones) followed by Wave 20 (40 concentrated ballistic missiles) — a saturation-then-precision pattern.

Responses & Reactions

  • Israel: Ben Gurion Airport shut down for 36 hours. No casualties but major disruption to air connectivity. Airlines diverted to alternative airports.
  • United States: Expressed alarm over targeting of civilian airport infrastructure. Reinforced calls for ceasefire.
  • International: ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) issued advisory. Ceasefire negotiations entered critical phase.
  • Iran: IRGC described strikes as targeting military infrastructure near the airport, not the airport itself.
