Israel in the Gaza War has had a total number of air strikes that is 39% of the number of airstrikes that the US Air Force performed in the 1991 Gulf War.
The Israel Air Force has carried out strikes against more than 31,000 targets belonging to Hamas and other terror groups since the war began, mostly in Gaza (29,000 targets), but also in Lebanon and other fronts, racking up over 186,000 flight hours. Of the strikes, 26,000 were carried out by fighter jets, 3,800 with attack helicopters, and 3,800 with drones.
The 31000 strikes compares to 80,000 sorties performed by the US Air Force in the 1991 Gulf War. The US flew close to 80,000 sorties out of overall 116,000 sorties from the entire multi-national coalition. Israel’s war is not done yet. Israel does not have B-52 or B-1 bombers to the tonnage of bombs is far less.
The US F-16s flew nearly 13,500 sorties in the Gulf War. This was the highest for any system in the war. The F-111 flew over 4,000 sorties with a high mission capable rate.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) flies the F-15, F-35, and F-16 fighter jets that have been launching airstrikes in the Gaza Strip since the October 7, 2023, terror attacks on Israel by Hamas militants. As of November 8, 2023, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) operates 50 F-15 A/B/C/D variants and 25 F-15 I aircraft. The IAF also has about 224 F-16 Sufa and Barak in operation.
Israel’s F-16 in this 2023-2024 war were probably used nearly twice as much as the US used F-16s in the Gulf War.
Israel has about fifty F-35s and will get another 25 delivered in 2024 to reach 75 F-35s.
