IDF: First 600 days of war saw nearly 30,000 projectiles launched at Israel

Nearly 30,000 projectiles were launched at Israel over the first 600 days of the war that began on Oct. 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces told JNS on Friday. “There have been approximately 10,100 indirect-fire launches from Gaza that have crossed into Israeli territory, about 17,150 from Lebanon, about 45 from Syria and about 50 from Yemen,” the military said.

On June 10, 2024, the IDF announced that a total of 19,000 rockets had been launched into Israel, mainly from the Gaza Strip, which would bring the number of aerial attacks over the past 12 months to 8,345. The tally does not include projectiles that fall short of Israeli territory. The military statement also did not mention attacks by Iraqi militias. Nor does it include anti-tank missiles, which the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah repeatedly launched at northern Israeli communities until a ceasefire deal was brokered with Beirut on Nov. 27, 2024.

The agreement brought the Hezbollah attacks—which started on Oct. 8, 2023—largely to a halt, while Yemen’s Houthi terrorists and Hamas have again stepped up attacks in recent weeks. Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired several rockets at Israel on Saturday evening. The projectiles landed in open areas, the IDF stated.  (Source)
