Over 5,000 new targets were identified by Military Intelligence following the 12-day war in June, including thousands of terror components struck during Operation Roaring Lion, the IDF announced in a data summary of the war thus far. 

During Operation Roaring Lion, the Operations Directorate, the Air Force, and Military Intelligence have been participating in a joint effort to “systematically target the Iranian terrorist regime,” an IDF spokesperson said. 

So far, the IAF has carried out more than 800 airstrikes using approximately 16,000 munitions.

Alongside the strikes in Iran, the IDF, led by the Operations Directorate, has been conducting a multi-front campaign, in which approximately 7,000 targets have been attacked across all combat zones.

All critical, essential pre-war targets declared to be destroyed

The IDF announced on Tuesday that by Wednesday, all the IDF’s critical and essential pre-war Iran targets would be destroyed. 

“Critical” targets were those that immediately threatened Israel, such as ballistic missile industry targets and targets that were at the heart of the mission goals of the war, such as the smaller remaining nuclear-related targets.

“Essential” targets were a level down, and represented the wider Iranian military industrial complex, which might not present an imminent threat to Israel during this conflict but which were viewed by Iran as essential to maintaining its various military and weapons apparatuses at an effective level of operation.
