A recent report by the Israeli financial daily Calcalist has revealed the extensive material losses suffered by the Israeli occupation following its war on Iran, with over 41,550 compensation claims filed so far by affected settlers.
The data shows that the majority of the damage resulted from direct hits to buildings, with 32,975 claims submitted for homes and other structures. An additional 4,456 claims were made for damages to household appliances and equipment, while 4,119 claims were related to vehicle damage.
Initial estimates place the total cost of direct damage at over 5 billion shekels (approximately $1.3 billion), though thousands of cases remain under review or are yet to be formally filed.
18,000 settlers displaced amid widespread destruction
The report also noted that around 18,000 settlers were evacuated from various areas due to destruction caused by Iranian retaliatory strikes during the war.
Government and insurance agencies are still assessing the scale of destruction, and officials anticipate the number of claims to increase in the coming weeks as more damage assessments are completed and residents return to inspect their properties.
The publication of these figures underscores the domestic economic and logistical toll of the recent war, which drew heavy criticism from within the Israeli regime over preparedness, response capacity, and infrastructure resilience.
Israeli media acknowledges accuracy of Iranian strikes
Iranian missiles accurately hit strategic bases and facilities, including the Weizmann Institute, causing significant damage that has not yet been disclosed, “Israel’s” Channel 13 revealed on Sunday.
The outlet revealed that the Iranian missile strikes made direct impacts on many army bases and strategic facilities, but relevant information has not yet been disclosed.
The channel described the difficulty of grasping how precise the Iranians were and the extent of damage the Iranian missiles caused in many places.
Israeli censorship hindering assessment of damage from Iranian strikes
"Israel" has admitted to being struck by more than 50 missiles during its 12-day war on Iran, but the full scope of the damage may never be revealed due to strict press censorship.
Such media restrictions are long-standing in "Israel", where any content, written or visual, considered potentially harmful to the vaguely defined notion of “national security” can be legally suppressed.
Recently, the Israeli regime has further tightened its grip on wartime reporting.
Last week, Israeli police cut off broadcasts by multiple foreign news agencies reporting from locations hit by Iranian missiles, while footage published by The Times of Israel showed an Israeli police officer demanding that a cameraman surrender his recording equipment.
Israeli police stormed the offices of foreign TV news teams following their coverage of missile strikes in the Haifa region, which reportedly hit sensitive military sites.
