The Israeli Air Force has dropped over 7,500 bombs during strikes in Iran in the past week, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference.
“This is twice the number of [munitions] dropped during Operation Rising Lion,” he says, referring to Israel’s 12-day war with Iran in June 2025.
He says that in all, over 3,400 strikes have been carried out.
