Israel and US Release Data on 23,000 Strikes Against Iran

The Israel Defense Forces and United States Central Command released statistics detailing a massive coordinated aerial campaign during a 38-day war with Iran. The Israeli military reported deploying 18,000 bombs across 10,800 attacks against approximately 4,000 targets. These munitions were delivered via 1,000 waves of aircraft performing 85,000 sorties, a volume of bombing roughly five times higher than the IDF's activity during a 12-day conflict in June 2025.

Concurrent with the Israeli operations, the United States Central Command announced on April 6 that U.S. forces struck over 13,000 targets within Iran. To coordinate the campaign, the two allies divided operations by region. The IDF focused its attacks on western, northern, and central Iran, including Tehran, while the United States targeted southern Iran and various waterways.

No official responses from the Iranian government or international bodies were included in the data release, and the reports did not specify the immediate humanitarian impact or the current ceasefire status following the conclusion of the 38-day conflict.
