According to reports from Yedioth Ahronoth, the recent surge in Israeli activity suggests a strategic pivot. During this period, the US targeted approximately 2,000 objectives in Iran, while Israel carried out roughly 600 strikes. Since then, Israeli forces have executed nearly three times the number of US strikes, hitting approximately 2,800 targets compared to roughly 1,000 US strikes. To date, Israel has taken the lead in the “Operation Roaring Lion” air campaign, striking 3,400 targets in Iran and 600 in Lebanon, surpassing the total of 3,000 strikes conducted by US forces. The INSS data highlights that while the US has maintained the steady operational tempo established in the war’s opening days, Israel has aggressively accelerated its pace.
