Israel military attacks 2025: A multi-front escalation across 6 nations

One country, six fronts, and over 10,000 strikes. 2025 marked the broadest geographic military offensive in Israel's history. According to data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), an independent conflict monitor, Israeli forces carried out at least 10,631 attacks between January 1 and December 5, 2025.

The Geographic Scope of Israel Military Attacks 2025

Throughout the year, Israel targeted at least six countries: Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, and Yemen. Gaza remained the most devastated region, with over 25,000 people killed this year. Despite multiple ceasefires, violations were frequent, leading to hundreds of additional casualties.

• Iran Strike: On June 13, a massive operation involving 200 jets hit the Natanz nuclear facility and other strategic sites.
• Qatar Raid: On September 9, a rare strike in Doha killed 6 people, including family members of Hamas leadership.
• Yemen Front: Over 48 attacks targeted Houthi infrastructure, including the Sanaa airport and power stations.

International Waters and Post-Assad Syria

Israeli military activity also extended into international waters. Aid flotillas bound for Gaza were struck by drones near Tunisia, Malta, and Greece. In Syria, following the fall of the Assad government in December 2024, Israel intensified its bombing campaign—launching over 200 strikes—to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of groups like HTS.
