Israeli Compensation Fund: War with Iran forces over 8,000 Israeli residents to flee houses

The Israeli Compensation Fund Activity for Damage Handling has reported that since the outbreak of the war with Iran, 8,190 residents have been evacuated from their houses due to escalating hostilities.

The fund has also received around 30,000 claims seeking compensation for damage inflicted on buildings, vehicles, personal property, and equipment amid ongoing rocket attacks, Caliber.Az reports via Israeli media. 

“Citizens whose houses or property have been damaged by rocket attacks can apply for assistance at the Tax Authority’s centre,” the fund said in an official statement. 

As of June 20, the Compensation Fund Activity for Damage Handling has received 30,735 claims for property damage caused by rocket attacks from Iran, beginning on June 13, 2025. Of those, 25,040 claims relate to damage to real estate, 2,623 to damage to vehicles, and 3,006 to damage to movable property and equipment.

A total of 8,190 people have been evacuated from their homes due to residential property damage. The direct damage caused by the Iranian missile attacks has reached an estimated 4 billion shekels ($1.145 billion).

On June 13, Israel launched extensive air raids targeting sites linked to Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, including facilities in Natanz and Fordow, as well as Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) positions. In response to the deteriorating security situation, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry had earlier issued a strong travel advisory, urging Azerbaijani citizens to avoid non-essential travel to both Iran and Israel, and advising those currently in either country to remain vigilant and prioritise their safety.
