Over 26,000 rockets, missiles and drones have been launched at Israel by Iran and its regional terror proxies since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the latest Israel Defense Forces data.
The numbers were published on the first anniversary of the massacre. As of Oct. 2, there have been 13,200 launches from the Gaza Strip, 12,400 from Lebanon, 400 from Iran, 180 from Yemen and 60 from Syria.

Furthermore, the IDF estimates that as many as 17,000 terrorists have been killed during fighting in the Gaza Strip over the past year (up to Sept. 25), with a high probability that 14,000 were eliminated and a medium-to-low probability regarding the remaining 3,000. The IDF notes that due to Hamas concealing the data, its Intelligence Division is working to estimate the total figure.
The terrorists killed in Gaza include eight at the rank of brigade commander or above, 30 at the battalion commander level and 165 at the company commander level.
As of Sept. 25, approximately 40,300 targets in Gaza have been attacked from the air and over 1,000 launch sites and command posts have been destroyed. Moreover, 4,700 tunnels were identified.
On the northern front, where Israeli forces are battling Hezbollah in Lebanon, over 800 terrorists have been killed, including 90 commanders. (The official tally does not include last month’s deadly communication device explosions targeting Hezbollah operatives, which Jerusalem has not taken responsibility for.)
As of Sept. 29, approximately 4,900 targets in Lebanon have been attacked from the air and 6,000 from the land.
Israeli soldiers under IDF Central Command, which includes Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, the Sharon and Gush Dan, have killed over 690 terrorists since Oct. 7, 2023.
Additionally, the IDF’s Unit 504, which is responsible for human intelligence as part of the Military Intelligence Directorate, has carried out some 7,000 investigations since the start of the war.
Since the start of the war on Oct. 7, a total of 729 Israeli soldiers have been killed, out of which 347 have fallen in combat during the Gaza ground operations which began on Oct. 27.
A total of 4,576 soldiers have been wounded since the start of the war, including 696 seriously. One hundred ninety-six are currently hospitalized, according to data provided by the IDF’s Human Resources Division which is updated daily. Since the start of the Gaza ground operation, 2,299 troops have sustained injuries, including 442 severely.
Fifty-six soldiers have been killed in operational accidents in the Gaza Strip as of Sept. 12, including 28 from friendly fire. Also, 1,037 troops have been injured in operational accidents in Gaza, including 652 from explosives, weapons, hazardous materials and fire.
Since the start of the war, 300,000 reserve soldiers have been recruited.
At sea, 172,000 hours have been logged, while Israeli pilots have participated in over 360,000 flight hours.
