In the Iranian attack on Israel in April 2024, Israel suffered relatively minor damage and casualties, largely due to successful interceptions by its air defense systems, assisted by a coalition including the US, UK, France, and Jordan.
Here’s a summary of the damage and casualties reported:
Damage:
* Airbases: The Nevatim and Ramon Airbases in southern Israel sustained minor damage. While some Iranian missiles did strike these bases, they remained operational.
* Other Infrastructure: A US official stated that at least nine Iranian missiles struck two Israeli airbases, causing minor damage. There were also reports of some shrapnel falling in Jordan.
* More recent reports (from June 2025, which might refer to ongoing or subsequent attacks) indicate more significant damage, including:
* Iranian missiles hitting a major hospital in southern Israel and striking residential buildings in Tel Aviv.
* Damage to a central rail station and the Microsoft office in the Gav-Yam Negev advanced technologies park.
* An oil refinery in Haifa was hit, causing fires and damage.
Casualties:
* April 2024 Attack:
* One 7-year-old Israeli Bedouin girl was critically injured by shrapnel.
* Thirty-one other people suffered minor injuries while rushing to shelters or were treated for anxiety.
* More Recent Reports (June 2025 – potentially including subsequent attacks):
* Casualties have been significantly higher, with at least 24 people killed in Israel and over 200 wounded.
* Specific incidents mentioned include deaths in an apartment building in the Galilee region, and an 80-year-old woman, a 69-year-old woman, and a 10-year-old boy killed in central Israel.
* Five people were lightly injured in Beersheba after a direct missile hit, and 30 were treated for panic.
It’s important to note that initial assessments from April 2024 emphasized the limited damage due to high interception rates. However, more recent reports from June 2025 suggest an escalation in the conflict with increased Iranian missile attacks that have caused more significant damage and casualties, including in civilian areas.

Pakistan’s T20 series loss to Bangladesh has certainly put Faheem Ashraf’s performance under scrutiny, especially in the context of the second T20I.
Here’s what Faheem Ashraf “did” in the context of Pakistan’s series loss:
Second T20I (Series Decider for Bangladesh):
First T20I:
Overall Impact on the Series:
While Faheem Ashraf played a brilliant, fighting innings in the second T20I that almost pulled off an impossible win, the larger narrative is that Pakistan’s top-order batting failed consistently across both matches. In the first T20I, Pakistan was bowled out for 110, which Bangladesh chased down easily. In the second, despite Faheem’s efforts, the early collapse was too significant to overcome.
Therefore, the question “Faheem Ashraf, what did he do?” likely comes from a place of frustration over the overall team performance, even though Faheem Ashraf himself provided a glimmer of hope with his batting in the second match. His individual performance in the second game was outstanding, but it wasn’t enough to compensate for the widespread batting failures that led to Bangladesh securing their first-ever T20I series win against Pakistan.
