(JNS) – The Islamic Republic’s Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack inflicted an estimated 150 million to 200 million shekels ($40 million-$53 million) in damage, according to an initial Israel Tax Authority assessment published on Sunday.

Since the attack, approximately 2,500 compensation claims have been submitted to the Israeli government, including some 2,200 instances of damage to buildings and 300 claims of damage to vehicles and their contents.

The Jewish state has vowed a significant response to Tehran’s second-ever direct attack, in which more than 180 ballistic missiles were fired at Israel. The Israeli military, with the assistance of the United States and Jordan, shot down most of the missiles, with the sole fatality in the attack being a Palestinian who was struck by falling missile debris near Jericho.

Jerusalem’s target list for its retaliatory attack against Iran will likely include military and energy infrastructure, but not nuclear facilities or assassinations, NBC News reported on Saturday, citing U.S. officials.

Jerusalem and Washington are closer to a consensus on the scope of the Israel Defense Forces’ planned retaliatory strike on Tehran, Axios reported on Thursday, citing three U.S. and Israeli officials.
