Gendelman stated that more than 370 ballistic missiles had been launched during the large-scale Iranian attack. Thirty missile impact sites have been confirmed. These figures do not include the hundreds of drones also launched towards Israel as part of the attack.

The Times of Israel, citing Israel Defence Forces statistics, reported that since Friday, Iran has fired around 350 ballistic missiles, most of which were intercepted.

Around 40 missiles were launched in the most recent attack at approximately 04:00, targeting central Israel and the Haifa area.

The Israel Defence Forces stated that each Iranian attack consisted of 30 to 60 missiles, with 5 to 10% managing to reach their targets despite Israel’s air defence system.

Most of Iran’s missile strikes were targeted at densely populated areas such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, with fewer directed at the Be'er Sheva area.
