JERUSALEM, December 31 (Xinhua) — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Wednesday that it carried out 20,900 attacks in the Middle East in 2025, mainly in the Gaza Strip, Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
Throughout the year, Israel continued to wage war in several theaters, necessitating the mobilization of additional units. According to data released by the IDF at the end of the year, approximately 306,830 reservists were called up, including 54,000 previously released from service.
In the Gaza Strip, where a ceasefire went into effect on October 10, Israeli forces carried out some 19,530 attacks, the IDF said.
According to the Gaza Health Authority, at least 415 people have been killed and 1,152 injured in Israeli attacks since October 11. In total, 71,269 people have been killed by Israeli shelling since October 2023.
On June 13, Israel launched a 12-day military campaign against Iran, during which the two countries exchanged missile strikes, marking a sharp escalation of the conflict after years of covert and proxy warfare.
The IDF recalled that it attacked approximately 1,500 targets in Iran and killed 11 Iranian nuclear scientists and 30 high-ranking officials, including the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, and the chief of the general staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri.
The IDF's Northern Command carried out some 950 attacks, mostly in southern Lebanon, where Israel claims it is targeting Hezbollah targets despite a ceasefire, and in Syria, where Israeli forces entered Syrian territory atop Mount Hermon in late 2024, followed by frequent air and ground strikes. –0–
