With the ceasefire appearing to hold firm, Israel is now taking stock of its achievements in the nearly two-week long Operating Rising Lion. According to multiple defense sources, here's what Israel succeeded in doing:

Destroying up to 1,000 ballistic missiles and 65% of Iran’s missile launchers. Iran now has an estimated 1,000–1,500 missiles left, less than half of its original arsenal.
Striking Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, causing severe damage. 15 nuclear scientists and top Iranian security officials, including the IRGC commander, were eliminated.
80% of Iran’s air defense network was destroyed, including 80 anti-aircraft batteries. The Israeli Air Force maintains complete aerial superiority; no aircraft were downed, and no pilot rescues were needed.
