Middle East Spectator Reports that Israel suffered direct losses exceeding $3 billion due to damage from Iranian missile attacks in the 12-day war. According to a June 25 report from Hebrew media, the losses may reach $5 billion.
Indirect losses, resulting from ceased business operations, amount to $1.5 billion.
– The most significant losses have been at the 'Weizmann' Institute and the 'Bazan' refinery in Haifa. Hebrew outlets claim that the destroyed 'Weizmann' Institute alone suffered over $500 million in damages. The research and data samples were irrecoverably lost, with no backups available.
– More than 11,000 Israeli settlers have become homeless, and 33,000 houses were damaged, approximately 30% of which have been fully destroyed. Additionally, 4,500 businesses and 4,100 vehicles were destroyed.
– Over 38,000 compensation claims have been filed so far and are expected to reach 50,000.
– A total of 3,491 Israelis were injured, and 29 were announced dead. Three Jordanian citizens were also injured after Jordan attempted to intercept an Iranian drone.
– According to estimates, Iran launched between 590 and 630 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with over 1,000 drones of various types.
– Hebrew outlets report that 500 missiles reached Israel, with 'attempts made' to intercept 257 of them. Of those, 221 were reportedly successful interceptions, resulting in a success rate of 44.2%. Approximately half of all interceptions were conducted by American, Jordanian, and French forces.
– Missile sirens sounded in Israel a total of 19,434 times.
Unlike Operations True Promise I and II, there is no indication that the British military actively helped defend Israel, despite deploying Royal Air Force 'Typhoon' jets to the region.
*The losses do not account for the costs of defensive and offensive military operations, but THAAD interceptions by the U.S. military alone cost over $800 million, according to an earlier report.
