The Israeli military has released detailed figures outlining its recent 12-day conflict with Iran, which began on June 13 and lasted until a ceasefire was announced by US President Donald Trump between Tel Aviv and Tehran.
According to a report by the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth, the intense round of attacks targeted Iran’s nuclear programme and ballistic missile infrastructure, with the Israeli Air Force carrying out an estimated 1,500 aerial sorties throughout the campaign.
The Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate claimed that these operations neutralised Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities by 90% for an extended period, intercepted 99% of incoming drones, and shot down 86% of ballistic missiles launched by Iran.
200 Missile Launch Sites Destroyed
Israeli forces reportedly struck around 900 targets in Iran through the 1,500 airstrikes, destroying nearly 200 ballistic missile launch sites — roughly half of Iran’s total launch platforms, according to the Israeli assessment.
The military also stated that over 35% of Iran’s weapons production sites were targeted. The report noted that this scope of damage is relatively limited compared to similar Israeli operations in Lebanon or Gaza, largely due to Iran’s geographic distance. The 900 targets included 1,500 separate components, such as air defence systems, radars, anti-aircraft missile launchers, command centres, and weapons depots.
Israel claimed it hit more than 80 anti-aircraft missile batteries, many of which were not part of the military’s initial target bank but were located and struck mid-operation using surveillance and attack drones. In addition, Israel says it destroyed 15 ageing Iranian fighter jets, most of which were 40 to 50 years old.
The report added that this extensive damage could significantly undermine Iran’s ability to secure its borders and maintain control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. Israeli forces also attacked six Iranian airports, with the farthest in Mashhad, located about 2,300 kilometres from Israel — a distance greater than that between Tel Aviv and Rome.
Casualties and Strategic Targets
Official Iranian figures indicated that 600 Iranians were killed during the Israeli strikes — a number that aligns with the Israeli army’s own report claiming to have killed hundreds of Iranian soldiers and assassinated over 30 senior Iranian security officials, including three chiefs of staff and top campaign commanders. Dozens of Iranian military headquarters were also bombed.
The data shows that Iran’s air defence systems managed to intercept hundreds of ballistic missiles. Still, those that did hit caused significant damage and resulted in 29 Israeli deaths in areas including Ramat Gan, Rishon LeZion, Tamra, Bat Yam, Petah Tikva, Bnei Brak, Haifa, and Beersheba. The final four casualties were reported in Beersheba just minutes before the ceasefire took effect.
Naval Interceptions and Nuclear Programme Damage
The Israeli navy intercepted around 40 Iranian drones, with missile ships spending over 3,500 operational hours at sea during the nearly two-week conflict. More than 1,000 Israeli naval personnel remained on high alert, prepared for escalation at any moment.
The Israeli army also claimed it destroyed thousands of uranium enrichment centrifuges and killed approximately 11 nuclear scientists. The heavy water nuclear reactor in Arak, though inactive, was attacked to prevent its potential future use. Key nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz also sustained significant damage during the bombardment.
