Three years after the October 7th massacre, the IDF has released statistics detailing its operations. The military reported striking approximately 100,000 targets across various fronts since the war began. Of these, about 65,000 were in the Gaza Strip, 28,000 in Lebanon and Syria, 4,500 in Iran, and 80 in Yemen. Concurrently, tens of thousands of projectiles, including missiles and drones, were launched towards Israel from these regions, with Lebanon accounting for around 20,000 and Gaza for approximately 10,200.
The IDF also reported that 970 soldiers have fallen in operational circumstances. Significantly, over 70% of soldiers wounded during the conflict have returned to service. In the West Bank, over 3,800 weapons were seized, and approximately 45,000 individuals were arrested or detained for investigation, including arms dealers, planned attackers, and terror operatives. Additionally, over 46 million shekels intended for terrorism were confiscated.
The reserve forces system has undergone substantial expansion, increasing by about 36% since October 7th. New units have been established, including the Shomer Brigade and David Brigades, alongside armored, intelligence, settlement defense, air defense, and policing formations. Efforts to bolster active-duty forces have also been made, including recalling reservists previously granted exemptions, with around 22,000 returning to service following a directive in August 2024. Extensive mobilization and placement processes have been conducted throughout 2025 and 2026 to integrate reservists into active units.
The operational tempo for reservists has significantly increased, with an average of 80 to 100 reserve duty days per combatant this year, compared to a planned average of 55. The IDF has also expanded support services for reservists and their families, including financial aid, psychological support, and educational subsidies, through government decisions and joint programs. A "Service Circle" program has been developed to provide comprehensive support throughout various service periods.
