Israel struck 1,480 targets in Iran during 12-day war, dropped 3,500 munitions

Tel Aviv, June 25 (UNI) During its 12-day wide-scale military campaign in Iran, Israel struck over 1,480 targets and launched around 1,500 air sorties that dropped 3,500 munitions, Israeli media and defense sources reported.
Iran International, quoting data from the Israeli military and national rescue services (MDA), said 29 Israelis were killed during the conflict -- 28 by Iranian missile fire and one woman who died of cardiac arrest during air raid sirens.
The Israeli Air Force conducted 600 mid-air refueling operations during the offensive, which also targeted 80 Iranian air defense systems and 250 missile launch platforms.
Eight nuclear sites across Iran were bombed, with severe damage reported at two key facilities.
The initial waves of airstrikes targeted Natanz and Isfahan, while subsequent attacks hit Arak, Parchin, Karaj, Bonab, and Tehran.
It quoted the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) as saying that the strikes significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and eliminated much of the country’s strategic launch capability.
In retaliation to the air strikes, Iran fired approximately 600 missiles at Israel.
Fatalities were recorded in multiple cities, including Rishon LeZion, Haifa, Petah Tikva, Kiryat Ata, and Beersheba. More than 30,000 buildings across Israel were damaged during the hostilities.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Effi Defrin said today that the recent war with Iran has set the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme back by years.
“We met all the objectives of the operation as defined for us, and even did so better than we had optimally expected,” Defrin said, but he cautioned: “I say this with humility, because it’s still too early to determine.”
“We are investigating and reviewing the results of our strikes on every part of this puzzle, as I’ve previously called it, the various components of the nuclear program and more,” he said, the Times of Israel reported.
“I can say here that the assessment is that we significantly damaged the nuclear program, and I can also say that we set it back by years, I repeat, years,” he said.
Defrin’s comments echoed those of IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir last night that, “We have set Iran’s nuclear project back by years, and the same goes for its missile program.”
