Five hours after the United States announced the destruction of Iranian nuclear sites, Iran launched two missile salvos targeting Israel – the first such attack in more than 30 hours.
A total of at least 27 missiles were fired in the attack, with impacts recorded in Haifa and across central Israel. According to IDF assessments, the first barrage consisted of 22 missiles, followed by a second with five more.
Following the attack, Magen David Adom teams treated and transported victims. Twenty-five people were rushed to hospitals, including a man in his 30s in moderate condition with shrapnel wounds to his upper body. The remaining victims had minor injuries.
United Hatzalah’s spokesperson summarized at 10 a.m. that following the missile strikes this morning in the center and north of the country, approximately 25 people were treated across all locations.

22 launched at one time is 1/5th of what they did on day one.
It will probably be half of that tomorrow.
How strong the Nation of Israel stands. Bearing the brunt for mankind. Thank you sons of Jacob. I love you.
Do not fear Israel, do not be afraid,
For are you not a young lion?
And if a lion roars – who won’t be afraid?
Who won’t be afraid?

Wouldn't even smaller bombs / missiles be capable of reducing the entrances to rubble?
My reasoning: If everything "up top" is blown to smithereens, the technicians and scientists below ground wouldn't last long, without air.
Anyone here who can answer that question is welcome to disabuse me of my ignorance!

These are Chinese Missiles they just dropped off .
I fear China moved the Fordov plant kry items and moved back to China .No one is Stating What China been doing in Iran .
The Leftist media knows all this and is burying it .
You love Israel, I love Israel. But Israel is not sustainable. Iran will just buy weapons from North Korea and China to rearm. How will the violence end? The mullahs are just not rational.
Link?
Just like GW I and 2, this will be another great scud hunt again. Once the missile launchers are destroyed, Iran will only have the straits of Hormuz as their ace card.
Destroying the entrances would not destroy the equipment and materials deep below ground. The Iranians would be able to dig out the tunnels and then make use of the undamaged facilities.
The technicians are expendable. The centrifuges and enriched uranium plus all other high tech systems were the targets. Iran would have tunnelled back in and resumed production with a new sense of urgency

Feel free to find .
And one more time . . . 99.x% of all nuclear weapons on Earth are plutonium based, not uranium. You don’t need centrifuges to separate plutonium from the spent uranium fuel rods of nuclear reactors. It is non-trivial, but it does not require months and years of spinning in a centrifuge.
There is also no reason why Russia could not simply provide the plutonium. They are signatories of the non-proliferation treaty, but providing plutonium as opposed to an entire bomb May finesse that.
This entire exercise and obsession with centrifuges has never made any sense to me. Only the North Koreans do this and mostly because they don’t have access to commercia power reactors. Iran has one operational reactor that has just recently had an additional to added to that site. It was not targeted.
You really think China or North Korea wanna hear B2 bombers coming across their countries? I understand your thoughts, but I also understand those things can produce fear. As long as those other countries think they’re safe they talk big.
In GOD we trust!
“reducing the entrances to rubble?”
True. But only if you have perfect knowledge of ALL entrances. Now, if you were in charge of building a mountain bunker, would you hide a few tunnels?
“...the first such attack in more than 30 hours.”
30 HOURS. Not days, not months, not years, not decades. Says something to the world about their peaceful intent.
HA.
Why not use “bunker busters”? Iran has no need to fire hundreds of missiles at Israel, but they have. In a fight for your life, you don’t worry about how hard to hit back.
