The number of ballistic missiles launched from Iran at Israel has slowed to around 20 per day in recent days, according to military estimates.
On the first day of the war, Saturday, after Israel and the US launched strikes against Iran, some 90 ballistic missiles were fired toward Israel. The following day, Sunday, the number dropped to around 60.
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, roughly 20 missiles were fired each day in multiple salvos, each consisting of a small number of projectiles.
Iran has launched dozens more ballistic missiles at other countries in the Middle East during the conflict. In total, Iranian media claims about 500 ballistic missiles have been fired.
The IDF reports that it has so far destroyed more than 300 Iranian ballistic missile launchers — about 60% of Iran’s total stockpile. CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper said yesterday that Iran’s ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90% since the first day of the war.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
