The Israeli military on Wednesday said the Israeli Air Force has dropped more than 5,000 bombs on targets in Iran since the start of the conflict, as operations continue to expand.
In a statement posted on X, it said, “Israeli air force fighter jets continue to deepen their air superiority throughout Iran, with an emphasis on the Tehran area.”
תיעוד נוסף מעין הטיל: חיל-האוויר תקף עם יותר מ-5,000 חימושים באיראן מתחילת המבצע

The Israel Defence Forces also released video footage purportedly showing a strike on an Iranian air defence system in the Tehran area.
According to a Jerusalem Post report, As of Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces had dropped 4,000 bombs over four days — matching the total number deployed during the entire 12-day conflict with Iran in June 2025.
By raising that figure to more than 5,000 bombs on the fifth day of fighting, the military signalled that it continues to identify high-value targets and is not nearing a shortage of munitions, added the report.
Earlier, the IDF announced that it had destroyed Ghadr-class ballistic missiles and their launch platforms at Isfahan in Iran.
The Ghadr 110 is the most advanced type of Ghadr missile (there are several categories of Ghadr), and is a two-stage missile that includes a solid-fuel engine to shorten launch preparations, which makes it potentially harder to strike prior to launch.
Meanwhile, Iran said on Wednesday that 1,045 people had been killed in the country since Saturday as a result of the conflict.
According to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service, Iranian missiles have killed at least 10 people in Israel.
The joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran, entering its fifth day, has triggered a sharp escalation across West Asia, setting off waves of missile exchanges, mounting casualties, and far-reaching political, security, and economic repercussions.
