If "launched" is the number of attacks one side has launched and "intercepted" is the number of attacks that one side has neutralized, "hit" should be the number of missiles that one side has launched and hit the target? No, apparently it's the number of targets that have been hit on one side. Also, currently the coalition has intercepted a thousand more attacks than Iraq block launched. How can it be? Friendly fire? This thing is incredibly confusing.
