How many bomb, rocket and missile attacks on Israel since 1948 from neighbours without declaration of war?
Precise numbers for every individual attack since 1948 are difficult to aggregate because many occur during periods of undeclared or "gray zone" conflict involving non-state actors (e.g., Hamas, Hezbollah). However, according to data from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and historical records, the number of projectiles launched at Israel exceeds 50,000 in the 21st century alone. [1, 2, 3]
