A new report by Israeli media reveals\u00a0that Iran’s retaliatory operations against Israel\u00a0during the 12-day US-sponsored aggression have inflicted heavy losses across the Tel Aviv area and other occupied territories.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hebrew-language newspaper Ma’ariv, quoting sources, reported on Thursday that the Tel Aviv area had recorded the highest number of building damages as a result of Iranian missile attacks.<\/p>\n The report further pointed out that at least 200 large buildings had been severely damaged and dozens of them will have to be completely demolished.<\/p>\n The neighborhoods that experienced severe destruction include Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak, Givatim, Holon, Beit Yam, Ramat Hasharon and Herzliya.<\/p>\n “Due to the missiles hitting Tel Aviv, the areas of Ramat Gan, Beit Yam, Holon and Bnei Brak suffered significant damage,” the report said.<\/p>\n Erez Ben-Eliezer, a Tel Aviv area planner, also confirmed that the densely populated Tel Aviv area had suffered the most extensive damage during the US-Israeli-imposed war against Iran. He stated that the reconstruction of at least 200 severely damaged buildings will take years.<\/p>\n According to Israeli media and economic reports, Israel has suffered an estimated $12 billion in direct losses from its 12-day war of aggression against Iran, with total losses potentially rising to $20 billion.<\/p>\n The losses encompass military expenditures, missile strike damages, payouts to affected individuals and businesses, and infrastructure repairs.<\/p>\n Experts warn the final tally may reach $20 billion once indirect economic impacts and civilian compensation claims are fully calculated.<\/p>\n So far, more than 41,000 claims have been submitted to the regime\u2019s compensation fund, with many more expected, according to data published by the right-wing newspaper Israel Hayom.<\/p>\n Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth earlier said the regime\u2019s treasury had already sustained 22 billion shekels ($6.46 billion) in damages.<\/p>\n The Israeli military is now seeking an extra 40 billion shekels ($11.7 billion) to restock arms supplies, purchase additional interceptors and offensive weapons, and maintain reserve units, following pre-war requests of 10 billion and later 30 billion shekels.<\/p>\n Economic analysts had cautioned that prolonging the war could have pushed Israel’s embattled economy to the brink of collapse.<\/p>\n On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked aggression against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and assassinating senior military commanders and scientists along with ordinary civilians.<\/p>\n In response, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones that struck multiple sensitive and strategic Israeli locations, as confirmed by Israeli media outlets.<\/p>\n Israel was forced to unilaterally accept a US-proposed ceasefire after incurring heavy losses and failing to destroy Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure.<\/p>\n
