The Israeli government on Wednesday released updated figures on home front casualties, damage and evacuations, noting 24 casualties.
Since airstrikes began on Friday, Iran has launched approximately 400 ballistic missiles and hundreds of aerial drones. While most have been intercepted, approximately 40 impact sites have been identified.
The barrages have killed 24 people. Of the more than 804 people injured, eight are in serious condition, 41 are in moderate condition while 795 suffered minor injuries.
Property damage is based on damage claims submitted to the Israel Tax Authority. Of the 18,766 claims made to the Authority, 15,861 were for structural damage to buildings, 1,272 were related to vehicles and 1,633 were related to contents and other property.
Some 3,800 Israelis have been evacuated from their homes.
Israel executed this military operation with the utmost planning and precision, and it has proven to be the most catastrophic blow to the Iranian regime. Israel’s advanced intelligence capabilities, air superiority, and ability to conduct complex, multi-target strikes deep inside Iranian territory with strategic coordination is nothing short of brilliant.
All of this is taking place while Israel continues Operation Swords of Iron, a multi-front operation approaching its two-year mark. Israel alone is fighting two massive wars against multiple enemies who seek its annihilation. It sounds historic for one country to be fighting two wars simultaneously, one of which will have significant humanitarian and geopolitical implications for the entire region. In the end, it’s about the Jewish Nation State’s unprecedented fight for its very survival. Let that sink in.
