Tuesday — Operation True Promise 3 — Twelve-Day War Day 12 (Final Day) — 1 wave recorded
Summary
On June 24, 2025, the final day of the Twelve-Day War, Iran launched a single wave (Wave 22) of 14 ballistic missiles targeting military and logistical centers. This was the last wave of Operation True Promise 3, fired minutes before the US-brokered ceasefire took effect.
A missile struck a residential building in Beersheba at approximately 5:40am IST, killing 4 and injuring 20. Final missiles continued until 7:10am IST. The IRGC described the operation as a "historic lesson." The ceasefire subsequently held, ending the 12-day campaign that saw 22 waves of Iranian missile and drone strikes against Israel.

Waves & Munitions
Tactical Assessment
- Ceasefire-eve salvo: Final wave launched in the hours before ceasefire, a common tactic to demonstrate continued capability and establish a "position of strength" at the negotiating table.
- Beersheba targeting: Strike on Beersheba (southern Israel) expanded the geographic impact zone beyond the Tel Aviv/Haifa corridor that dominated most of TP3.
- Civilian casualties on final day: 4 killed and 20 injured in a residential building strike — tragic final toll of the Twelve-Day War.
- Campaign summary: TP3 comprised 22 waves over 12 days, representing a fundamental shift from TP1/TP2's single-night operations to a sustained multi-day campaign.
