IDF Sums Up War in Iran and Lebanon
(Israel Hayom) Lilach Shoval - During the 40 days of war with Iran, the Israel Air Force launched 19,000 munitions and bombs, while the U.S. Air Force struck with 17,000. Iran launched 550 missiles at Israel, and another 850 at Gulf states. In Israel, 90 ballistic missile impacts were recorded, including 64 cluster missiles. Five major impact sites from heavy missiles were recorded across Israel. The IDF says Iranian leaders are operating like wanted fugitives, and commanders are working out of tents and cars. At the same time, the assessment is that the Iranians have already begun preparing for the next campaign against Israel. In Lebanon, senior military officials are conveying that the IDF has successfully met all the military objectives set for it and that everything now depends on the negotiations taking place. Hizbullah launched 5,500 rockets - 2,500 crossed into Israeli territory, while the rest fell in Lebanon or were fired at IDF forces operating in Lebanon. In order to thwart longer-range rocket fire at Israel, IDF forces would need to maneuver north of the Litani River, and that is not something anyone intends to do right now.
