Missile Damage in Israel a Fraction of 2025 Levels after 11 Days of War with Iran
(Globes-TNS-Jerusalem Post) Ela Levi-Weinrib - Compared to the 12-day war with Iran in June 2025, in the current fighting Iran has been firing fewer missiles and is concentrating its efforts on central Israel. While in June, Iran launched 1,600 missiles and drones, the number launched in this round of fighting so far is less than 600. While direct damage from missile hits in 2025 reached NIS 3 billion, the damage in the current campaign is estimated at several hundred million shekels so far. Yigal Govrin, chairman of the Israel Association of Engineers, said, "In the previous campaign, we saw missiles with large warheads of hundreds of kilograms, and each missile that was not intercepted and landed had the potential to destroy an entire building." "In this round, the Iranians are sending cluster missiles, that is, warheads that scatter, each with much less explosives, so the chance of a building being completely destroyed is very small. On the other hand, the large scatter is problematic. The potential for harm to people and property is greater because it reaches more places."
