Iranian Attacks on Israel

    Israel’s records divide into distinct phases rather than a uniform interception story. Early Iranian missile barrages brought reported impacts and debris into Tel Aviv, Beit Shemesh, Arad, Dimona, Haifa, Jerusalem and Ramat Gan, alongside damage at energy and industrial sites. The death toll and injury burden are materially higher than in the Gulf hubs: fatalities are tied to several missile or debris events, while large injury totals are concentrated in strikes on homes and apartment buildings. Later entries shift north toward the Lebanon border, where Israeli reporting and military statements described Hezbollah drones, rockets and other projectiles against troops, air-defence positions and communities. Those attacks include deaths and injuries among soldiers as well as waves with no reported casualties. Named cities and communities usually carry approximate pins, while broad northern alerts, border incidents and military targets remain generalized. Later Iranian and Houthi launches were reported as intercepted or landing away from populated areas. The chronology preserves whether damage was observed, officially reported, claimed by an armed group or left unconfirmed.
