The IDF assesses that between 4,000 and 5,000 Iranian soldiers and commanders have been killed in Israeli strikes in Iran since the start of the war.
Among them are many members of Iran’s internal security forces and Basij paramilitary force, which have been a focus of Israeli strikes.
The military says it is preparing for several more weeks of operations in Iran, as it still has many more regime targets to hit, both in Tehran and in other parts of the country.
Israel’s strikes are focusing on causing a blow to the Iranian regime, its military, its weapon production industries, as well as the nuclear program.
So far, the Israeli Air Force has dropped over 10,000 bombs in Iran since the start of the war nearly two weeks ago.
In all, over 7,600 separate strikes were conducted in Iran, including 2,000 against “headquarters and assets of the Iranian terror regime,” and 4,700 against Iran’s missile program, the IDF says.
The IAF has conducted 4,700 sorties and over 380 waves of strikes in Iran, according to the military.
