Israeli authorities have received close to 39,000 claims for compensation related to direct material damages caused by Iranian missile strikes during the recent 12-day conflict between the two countries, local media reported on Tuesday.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the Compensation Fund under Israel’s Tax Authority has registered approximately 38,700 individual claims since hostilities began on June 13.
The breakdown includes 30,809 claims for structural damage to buildings, 3,713 for vehicle damage, and 4,085 for harm to equipment and miscellaneous property.
The newspaper also noted that the real number of damaged buildings could be significantly higher, as “thousands of other buildings have been damaged, but no compensation claims have been filed for them yet.”
The worst-hit area appears to be Tel Aviv, where over 24,932 claims have been lodged, followed by the southern coastal city of Ashkelon with 10,793 reported cases, according to data published by the Israeli website Behadrei Haredim.
Authorities have not yet released a financial estimate of the total compensation expected to be paid out.
The conflict erupted after Israel launched multiple airstrikes on Iranian soil, targeting key military and nuclear facilities.
Israel claimed the strikes were aimed at preventing Iran from completing the development of a nuclear weapon—a charge that Tehran strongly denies.
In response, Iran launched a barrage of over 550 ballistic missiles and approximately 1,000 drones at various Israeli targets.
The United States subsequently entered the conflict, carrying out airstrikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites.
The escalating hostilities were halted after 12 days of aerial attacks, following a ceasefire announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump. The ceasefire is currently holding, though tensions remain high.
