Devastating strikes from Iran destroy 11,000 Israeli homes, damage 30,000 others – Official
A devastating barrage of Iranian missiles has left a staggering toll on Israeli housing infrastructure, with 11,000 homes completely destroyed and another 30,000 damaged, according to Israel’s National Emergency Authority.
Preliminary assessments suggest a third of the affected buildings may need demolition due to structural instability.

The estimated cost to repair the damage stands at $1.2 billion, a figure expected to rise as recovery efforts continue.
The strikes, which targeted multiple regions, have displaced thousands of families, many now seeking temporary shelter in community centres and with relatives.
Images from the hardest-hit areas show collapsed apartment blocks, shattered windows, and debris-filled streets.

“Emergency crews work around the clock, but the scale of destruction has strained resources. This isn’t just about buildings, it’s about lives disrupted, memories erased,” said David Cohen, a volunteer with Israel’s disaster response team.
“Families have lost everything in seconds.”
While Israel’s missile defence systems intercepted many projectiles, the sheer volume of attacks overwhelmed defences in some areas. The government has vowed to accelerate reconstruction, but analysts warn recovery will take months, if not years.
As the region grapples with the aftermath, global leaders have called for restraint. Yet for those on the ground, the focus remains on rebuilding homes.
Israel-Iran War
Late on Saturday night, at Israel’s behest, the US entered the Israeli-Iranian war with strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, “completely obliterating” them, said US President Donald Trump.
On Monday, Iran struck back, firing missiles at the largest US airbase in the Middle East, Al Udeid in Qatar.
But hours after the attack, Trump announced on Truth Social, his social media platform, “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE.”
Trump called it “the 12-Day War that could have gone on for years and destroyed the Middle East”.
However, four hours after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect, Israel launched a strike against Iran in retaliation for what it said were two ballistic missiles entering its airspace, launched from Iran. Both were intercepted.
Israel’s retaliation destroyed a radar station near Tehran.
