6,476 Israeli homes lost during 2026 Iran war, 683 wounded

The 2026 war with Iran rendered over 6,400 Israeli homes uninhabitable and wounded 683 people, according to IDF Home Front Command figures released Thursday. The conflict also claimed 24 lives as of the April 7 ceasefire.

The IDF Home Front Command called up 45 battalions, comprising 84% of its maximum capacity, including reservists, to manage the extensive damage. Rescue and engineering staff responded to approximately 1,200 sites damaged by Iranian attacks and about 100 sites hit by Hezbollah. The command reported 25 major destruction areas and credited its staff with saving lives in at least 23 instances by extricating or providing medical care to civilians.

These figures represent only the most severe property damage incidents. By the time of the ceasefire, Israelis had already filed over 28,000 property damage claims for various losses, including vehicles. The IDF Home Front Command has since appointed a new senior permanent on-call official at the rank of colonel to manage ongoing operations.
