According to military sources, Iran has launched over 520 missiles at Israel since the conflict began. Just in the last two days, 35 missiles were fired, targeting both civilian and strategic zones. One of the most shocking incidents occurred when an Iranian missile struck a children’s daycare center in Be’er Sheva, shortly after another hit Soroka Hospital, causing widespread panic. In response, Israel has intensified its counter-offensive, claiming it has destroyed three major missile launch platforms.

Meanwhile, Haifa and several Israeli-occupied territories have been targeted with ballistic missiles, raising serious humanitarian concerns. Israel retaliated with a wave of airstrikes involving over 60 fighter jets, which reportedly penetrated deep into Tehran and bombed multiple military installations, including bases in Khuzestan Province.

The conflict is no longer contained between the two nations. Iraq has accused Israel of violating its airspace, claiming Israeli warplanes flew over Basra, Najaf, and Karbala. Syrian-Jordanian border areas have also reported intense aerial activity.

Despite speculation, the United States has not yet intervened directly, prompting debate over its stance. President Trump reportedly held a closed-door meeting with top officials but has not confirmed any military engagement. The war is proving financially draining for Israel. Reports estimate a daily expenditure of Rs 6,300 crore, totaling Rs 50,000 crore over just eight days, primarily for airstrikes, missile systems, and defense shields.
