Initial Surge Followed by Steady Decline in Attack Frequency
Since the onset of the conflict, approximately 300 ballistic missiles have been launched from Iran toward Israel. The first wave on February 28 involved around 90 missiles, marking a high-intensity opening strike. The following day saw a drop to about 60, signaling an early shift in operational tempo.
Shift to Sustained, Low-Volume Strikes
Over the next six days, Iran adopted a strategy of limited, repeated launches—averaging 20 missiles per day—to maintain pressure without overextending. By last Sunday and Monday, the number dropped below 20 daily, with most launches consisting of single missiles or small salvos, indicating a possible shift in capacity or strategic focus.
- Day 1: ~90 missiles
- Day 2: ~60 missiles
- Days 3–8: ~20 per day
- Recent days: Below 20, sporadic firings
Broader Regional Impact and Security Concerns
Besides targeting Israel, Iran has fired hundreds of missiles toward various locations across the Middle East during the conflict, affecting regional stability. While full-scale war has been avoided, rising tensions have prompted international calls for restraint and de-escalation.
