The report, which combined data from all security agencies and the country's emergency response groups, recorded 18,365 attacks in the last year alone, placing it amongst the bloodiest on record.
Some 16,400 rockets and missiles were fired into Israel, of which approximately 15,400 were launched by Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and 700 from the Gaza Strip.
