Iranian missile attacks cost zion*st ‘hundreds of millions’ per day
Experts estimate that zion*st interception operations alone are costing about $200 million on a daily basis.
The zion*st war on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory attacks are costing hundreds of millions of dollars per day, according to experts who spoke with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on 19 June.
Interceptor missiles used to shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles have been the most expensive, along with ammunition, aircraft, and the widespread destruction caused by missile attacks, which has been called “unprecedented.”
This could affect how long Israel’s campaign against Iran will last, according to the experts.
“The main factor which will really determine the cost of the war will be the duration. If it is a week, it is one thing. If it is two weeks or a month it is a very different story,” Karnit Flug, former Bank of Israel governor and senior fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute think tank.
Over 400 ballistic missiles have been fired by Iran at Israel since Tel Aviv launched its war on the country on 13 June.
Israel uses its Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow 3 systems to try to intercept as many of the daily missile launches as it can.
Experts estimate interception operations alone cost up to $200 million per day.
Each time the David’s Sling system is activated, it costs around $700,000, according to Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies. However, this is assuming that only two interceptors are used, which is the minimum number.
Kalinsky added that each interception by the Arrow system costs approximately $4 million.
The damage caused by the missiles that make impact has also been significantly costly.
On 14 June, dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles struck several sites in Tel Aviv and Haifa. Among the targets was the Weizmann Institute of Science in the city of Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, which is often described as Israel’s equivalent of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Video footage released by RT on Thursday showed the massive amount of destruction inflicted on the institute.The institute estimates that the damage from Iran’s missile strike on its main laboratory stands at around two billion shekels ($570 million). The attack severely damaged three major research buildings and partially affected many others, with around 45 laboratories impacted.
The figure reflects only infrastructure losses, and not the immense scientific toll, which includes destroyed rare materials, irreplaceable samples, and years of unfinished research. Rebuilding will cost tens of millions per lab.
Iran has continued to launch strikes on a daily basis since 13 June. Entire buildings have been destroyed or severely damaged, and thousands of Israelis have been rendered homeless.
At least 15,000 homes have been damaged by Iranian ballistic missiles.
“To date, the Compensation Fund call centers have received 9,900 claims since the beginning of the operation,” the Israeli Tax Authority said earlier this week. “Of these, 8,549 claims were for structural damage, 668 for vehicle damage, and 683 for damage to contents and other property.”
Between 13 June and 16 June, Iran’s missile attacks resulted in damages estimated at around one billion shekels ($277 million).
Security risks for major international companies that operate in Israel also pose a threat to the economy.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported on 20 June that shipping giant Maersk has suspended trips to Haifa port due to the risk of Iranian strikes.
Israel’s largest oil refinery was forced to shut down on 16 June after an Iranian missile strike caused extensive damage to the Bazan Group’s Haifa complex, killing three workers and disabling its main power station.
The Bazan complex supplies nearly 60 percent of Israel’s diesel and close to half of its gasoline.The Cradle Media report
zionist daily business and economics website Calcalist reported that Weizmann Institute of Science in southern Tel Aviv, suffered an estimated $572 million in damages due to Iran’s missile strike.

Gaza: Massacres in Aid Lines, Resistance Resumes Operations
As the world’s attention shifted to the war between zion*st entity and Iran, the occupation has intensified its campaign of mass killings in Gaza, targeting starving civilians waiting for humanitarian aid. Over the past week, more than 90 Palestinians have been killed, many of them while simply queuing for food.
On Monday, Zionist forces carried out a brutal attack on thousands of displaced civilians waiting for aid in the al-Tahlia area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Eyewitnesses reported that artillery and drone strikes directly targeted the crowds, killing and wounding hundreds. The Ministry of Health confirmed at least 40 deaths and over 200 injuries. That same evening, similar attacks struck aid distribution points in the Nuseirat area and al-Sudaniyya, northwest of Gaza City, pushing the day’s death toll to at least 90.
Civil Defense Spokesman Mahmoud Basal
The zion*st occupation has been focusing since this morning on targeting displaced persons’ tents and gatherings of civilians specifically in Gaza City, where the number of martyrs in the city alone since dawn has exceeded 55, including children, women, and the elderly. More than 180 people have been injured, including critical cases.Despite being locked in a high-stakes confrontation with Iran, Israel has maintained steady momentum in its genocidal war in Gaza. It has frozen evacuation maps and military redeployments across 75% of the strip, while continuing its slow-moving Gideon’s Chariots operation. Entire cities, including Rafah, Khan Younis and all three urban centers in North Gaza (Jabalia, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun) remain fully emptied of residents. Eastern neighborhoods, stretching from northern Jabalia to southern areas like Khuzaa, Bani Suheila, and Abasan are now classified as red, no-go areas due to heavy fighting.
Rather than a full-scale troop presence, the occupation maintains control of these zones through firepower, relying on quadcopters and drones. In Jabalia, where Israeli broadcaster KAN announced the return of the 162nd Division, evening hours are marked by intense detonations. According to local sources, the Israeli army has been planting explosive-laden robots among the densely packed residential blocks, detonating them at night. Bulldozers are also systematically destroying the city’s infrastructure.
A similar pattern plays out in Shujaiyya and Tuffah neighborhoods in eastern Gaza City, where vast areas have been leveled. The Israeli strategy appears aimed at sustaining a low-cost war effort until its broader regional priorities are resolved. Priorities that Tel Aviv believes will take only weeks to settle.Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance factions have seized the opportunity to intensify their operations. With Israeli aircraft increasingly drawn to the northern front and Iranian skies, surveillance over Gaza has loosened, enabling dozens of fighters to return from frontline positions. These fighters have reported operations carried out in previous weeks that have not been publicized until now. The targets included tanks, infantry units, and buildings used by Israeli forces.
In the past 48 hours, Al-Qassam Brigades and Al-Quds Brigades claimed joint attacks on Israeli foot soldiers barricaded inside a home, hitting them with anti-personnel munitions and sniper fire. Fighters reported disabling a Merkava tank and an armored personnel carrier east of Jabalia using powerful explosive devices. On the same front, a tank on Sikka Street was also reportedly struck.Al-Qassam’s military media revealed that fighters detonated a house packed with pre-planted explosives east of Abasan al-Kabira, killing and wounding soldiers inside. Al-Quds Brigades and other factions reported destroying two more APCs in the same region with Shewaz-type explosives. In another operation, fighters ambushed Israeli infantry in a house north of 5th Street in western Khan Younis using 107mm rockets and mortar fire.
Additional reports from returning al-Quds Brigades fighters described a powerful explosive device hitting an Israeli vehicle near al-Huda Mosque in al-Manara district of Khan Younis. In Shujaiyya, they lured an Israeli special forces unit into a deadly close-range battle. Footage released by al-Quds Brigades also showed an Israeli tank being blown up with a high-yield explosive.
This spike in resistance activity is directly tied to Israel’s shifting focus toward its escalating war with Iran. With Israeli air and ground forces redeployed to the northern border and the West Bank settlements, the resistance exploited gaps in surveillance and troop presence to increase its pressure campaign. As the regional conflict expands, the resistance in Gaza is using every opportunity to stretch Israeli forces thin, driving up the cost of occupation with relentless ambushes and sustained combat.Al Akhbar report

Kremlin warns any US intervention in Iran would be “terrible spiral of escalation”
Talking about assassinating Khamenei is unacceptable.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov
Moscow’s response to the assassination of Khamenei would be extremely negative, and Russia will not accept such an act as it could lead to the unknown.
Russia Warns US Against Military Intervention in Iran-zion*st Conflict
Russia warned the US against military involvement alongside zionist, calling such a move dangerous and unpredictable. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova issued the warning following President Trump’s consultations on potential U.S. military participation. Trump did not rule out entering a war to counter Iran’s nuclear program, despite Tehran’s repeated denials. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping condemned Israeli strikes on Iran and urged a diplomatic resolution. The Kremlin stated both leaders believe the crisis must be resolved politically, not militarily.

Iran hacking security cameras across occupied Palestine to improve missile accuracy
A zion*st official told US media this week that the interception rate of ‘Tel Aviv’s’ air defenses decreased by 25 percent over two days
Iran has been hacking into private security cameras across the zion*st colony to gather intelligence and improve the accuracy of missile strikes.
zion*st cyber security experts cited by Bloomberg on 20 June confirmed the Islamic Republic’s use of cyber espionage.
“We know that in the past two or three days, the Iranians have been trying to connect to cameras to understand what happened and where their missiles hit to improve their precision,” said Refael Franco, the former deputy director general of the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD).
A spokesman for INCD said, “We’ve seen attempts throughout the war, and those attempts are being renewed now.”
Gaby Portnoy, another INCD official, said hacking of security cameras was also carried out by Hamas ahead of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in October 2023.
These cyber operations took place over the years, according to Portnoy, who also noted Russia’s use of the method during the war in Ukraine.
Earlier this week, a former Israeli cybersecurity official warned Israelis on a radio broadcast to turn off all home security cameras or change their passwords.
Cyberwarfare has emerged as a leading tactic in many world conflicts and is particularly used very commonly by Israel, which is known for its infamous spyware software and hackers.
An Israel-linked hacking organization called Predatory Sparrow recently claimed responsibility for disrupting a major Iranian bank and breaching an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange, causing the disappearance of about $90 million worth of bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency.
Iranian authorities and media outlets have warned over the past few days that the country has been subject to widespread Israeli cyberattacks.
Iran has implemented a nationwide internet blackout as a result, in an effort to stifle Israel’s efforts. According to Tasnim news agency, this blackout has managed to disable drones launched internally against Iran by agents affiliated with Israeli intelligence.
As Iran steps up its warfare, the accuracy of missile strikes has improved. A single Iranian ballistic missile struck the Beersheba area on Friday morning. Israeli air defenses were unable to intercept it.Israel has cracked down on foreign news outlets broadcasting footage of missile impact sites, with authorities warning that the “enemy monitors the footage to improve its attack capabilities.”
On 19 June, a zion*st official cited by NBC News noted a 25 percent decrease in the interception rate of Israeli air defenses over a period of two days.The Cradle Media report

International Atomic Energy Agency’s Grossi or the appalling level of bias
The positions and reports of the IAEA Director regarding our peaceful nuclear program were biased.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister
We will submit an official document to the UN Security Council regarding the role of the IAEA Director in the zionist aggression.
INFOGRAPHIC | Map of Iranian nuclear facilities targeted by Israel since the start of its US-backed war on Iran.
Israel claims it struck the Fordow nuclear facility, but International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and satellite imagery reports indicate that Fordow sustained minimal to no visible damage.
https://t.me/thecradlemedia/37892The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) condemned on 19 June the Israeli attack on the Shahid Khondab heavy water complex and its research reactor.
“In continued violation of international laws that explicitly prohibit attacks on nuclear facilities, the Zionist enemy launched an assault this morning targeting the Shahid Khondab heavy water complex and its research reactor,” the AEOI said in a statement.
It confirmed that no casualties were reported, and added: “Due to preemptive safety measures taken beforehand, there is no threat or harm posed to residents in the vicinity of the mentioned site.”
The organization further stated: “It is worth noting that the recent threats and aggressions by the criminal Zionist regime had previously been reported to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on several occasions, but regrettably, no action was taken by the Agency. Nonetheless, this morning’s assault has also been reported to the IAEA.” -
zion*st cracks down on coverage of Iran’s missile strikes, accuses reporters of ‘helping the enemy’
zionist police suspended the broadcasts of several foreign media outlets and news agencies from the sites where Iranian missiles fell on the morning of 19 June.
zionist authorities claim that filming, photographing, and releasing information about the sites of missile attacks helps “the [Iranian] enemy” and “threatens security.”
The police moved to confiscate equipment and cameras from media crews on Thursday morning.
Patrol units were ordered to take action “against news agencies utilized by Al Jazeera to transmit unauthorized and unlawful content.” Al Jazeera was banned by Israel last year for “slander” and for serving as a “mouthpiece” for Hamas and other resistance groups.
The decision was made “in accordance with the policy of the National Security Minister … and under the directive of Police Commissioner Danny Levy,” police went on to say.
Israeli police raided the offices of several foreign television crews earlier this week following Iranian ballistic missile operations targeting sensitive infrastructure in the Haifa area.“Broadcasts that show exactly where the missiles land on the State of Israel are a danger to state security,” National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said on Tuesday. “I expect that anyone who does this be treated as someone who harms state security.”
The Israeli military warned in a statement after Iran’s first attacks on 13 June that Israelis must not publish the locations or images of any missile impact sites.
“The enemy monitors the footage to improve its attack capabilities,” the army said.
Around 15 ballistic missiles launched from Iran targeted northern Israel on Thursday afternoon. Images on social media showed smoke rising from a number of locations, indicating possible impacts or the fall of shrapnel.
Some Israeli media reports noted that a heavy Iranian missile fell on an area in the north, and that details are banned from publication due to military censorship.
Earlier on Thursday, over two dozen ballistic missiles were launched from Iran towards Israel, with many making impact in several locations and causing destruction – including in Tel Aviv.
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange building was damaged in the attack, as well as Soroka Hospital in the city of Beersheva.
Several sites in the Gush Dan region (Greater Tel Aviv) were struck. Buildings in Holon were heavily damaged, as well as high-rises in the Ramat Gan area. Additional areas in central Tel Aviv were also impacted by the strikes.Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it targeted an Israeli command center near Soroka Hospital.
Heavy Israeli media censorship was imposed on the targeted sites.The censorship, which Israel always imposes on “security incidents” in which its forces are targeted, has been significantly heightened since the start of its war on Iran, in an effort to block information about the impact of retaliatory missile strikes launched by the Islamic Republic.
The Cradle Media report
Although it is difficult to believe the following report, however, for the sake of the inflation flow, we will post it.
A more accurate estimation would conclude with the ten times fold of this zion*st-declared value.
We are all witness to the damage caused.
Al Akhbar just posted on Telegram Channel:
The zionist Tax Authorities published yesterday that the Compensation Fund call centers have received 22,932 claims since the beginning of the war with #Iran. Of these, 18,890 claims were for structural damage, 1,827 for vehicle damage, and 2,215 for damage to contents and other property. A total of 5,000 individuals have been evacuated from their homes.
zionist media outlet Ynet reported that more than 80 teams from the Property Tax Compensation Fund, accompanied by engineers and appraisers, had already arrived at approximately 300 scenes where Iranian missiles had hit or where property had been damaged by interceptors. The direct damage from Iranian missiles hitting hundreds of buildings, infrastructure, cars, and public property had already reached more than two billion shekels (almost 600 million dollars) in five days.

Dozens of Palestinians Killed in zion*st Strikes on Gaza Aid Points
Mohammed Al-Mugheer of Gaza’s Civil Defense told AFP that zionist forces targeted civilians waiting for food aid near Netzarim, causing dozens of casualties. Six more were killed and dozens wounded in Khan Yunis, with further strikes and casualties reported in northern and southwestern Gaza.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported 69 martyrs and 221 injuries in the past 24 hours, raising the toll since October 7 to 55,706, mostly women and children. Since “Israel’s” ceasefire breach on March 18, 5,401 have been killed and over 18,000 injured.
Hamas condemned the strikes as “brutal massacres” at so-called “aid distribution points,” calling them “mass death traps,” and urged international action to halt the attacks and hold Israeli leaders accountable.https://t.me/alakhbar_english/24205
