• Iran’s Revolutionary Guards fired about 370 ballistic missiles over five days, including decoys and possibly hypersonic glide vehicles to breach air defenses
• The Iron Dome intercepted roughly 90 percent of incoming threats but was overwhelmed by the sheer volume and faced electronic warfare tactics
• At least 224 people have been killed and 1,400 wounded in Iran while 24 Israelis have died and dozens more have been injured
