At least 50 missiles fired by Iran during a 12-day offensive directly hit various locations in Israel, despite the country’s advanced air defense systems.
Anadolu compiled an overview of the 12-day conflict — which began with Israeli strikes on Iran and continued with Iranian retaliation — based on official sources.
The conflict, which began with Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and prompted retaliatory attacks by Tehran, escalated rapidly before a US-brokered ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump took effect on June 24. The toll from the hostilities has since begun to emerge on both sides.
Israel imposed sweeping censorship on both local and international media, blocking the publication of images and details regarding attacks on military and security sites. As a result, the full extent of Israeli military losses remains unclear.
According to the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), citing the Israeli military, the Magen David Adom emergency service, and the Ministries of Health and Welfare and Social Affairs, Iran launched 591 missiles at Israel, at least 50 of which made direct impact. Iran also deployed more than 1,050 drones; 570 reached Israeli territory, though only one reportedly evaded interception.
Air raid sirens were activated nearly 19,500 times nationwide during the attacks, and Israeli officials claimed that 85% to 90% of the missiles and 99% of the drones were intercepted.
Casualties, damage
Iran’s attacks killed 29 people in Israel and injured 3,491 others, including those hurt while seeking shelter or suffering from psychological trauma.
Nearly 11,000 residents were evacuated from targeted areas, and authorities received more than 38,000 damage reports.
