Tehran: The Iranian Ministry of Health reported that at least 128 people were killed in Israeli raids, and about 900 others were injured, according to the Iranian newspaper “Etemad.” Etemad quoted the Ministry of Health as saying that “128 people were killed in these military attacks, and about 900 wounded were admitted to hospitals on Friday and Saturday,” while stating that “the death toll includes women and children.”

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Ministry highlighted that “most of the wounded and dead in the past few days are civilians, and a large number of them are women and children.” This alarming development underscores the grave humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict.

This escalation marks a significant intensification in the war between Iran and Israel, with both sides engaging in a widespread exchange of strikes targeting strategic facilities and vital targets. The international community is increasingly concerned about the potential for the conflict to expand further, and there have been growing calls for restraint and a return to dialogue.
