Reports issued by the Iranian Red Crescent today, Sunday, stated that military operations led by the United States and Israel have resulted in the destruction and targeting of 9,669 civilian units across the country since the end of February. The destruction included 7,943 residential homes and 1,017 commercial establishments, reflecting the extensive damage inflicted on civilian infrastructure and the daily lives of residents.
The targeting was not limited to residential facilities but also directly affected the health and education sectors, with 32 health centers and 65 educational schools reported damaged. Official sources also recorded the targeting of 13 centers belonging to the Iranian Red Crescent, which hinders relief efforts and humanitarian services provided to those affected in the devastated areas.
Regarding human casualties in the medical sector, the statement announced the killing of 11 healthcare workers and the injury of 33 others with varying degrees of wounds while performing their duties. In a related context, a United Nations spokesperson revealed shocking figures regarding child victims, confirming the killing of approximately 180 children as a result of ongoing attacks on Iranian cities.
For its part, the Iranian Ministry of Health stated that the civilian death toll has exceeded 1,200, while the number of injured has surpassed 10,000 after eight days since the outbreak of the war. These figures come amidst an unprecedented military escalation in the region, with warnings of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe if the intensity of the shelling continues at the same pace.
In contrast, the Israeli army announced an intensification of its air operations, indicating that more than 400 sites inside Iranian territory were targeted in the past twenty-four hours alone. A military statement clarified that the total number of strikes carried out since the start of joint operations with Washington reached approximately 3,400 strikes, using nearly 7,500 various munitions.
Field sources confirmed the start of a new wave of violent air raids targeting sites in the capital Tehran and its suburbs, leading to massive explosions. This wave is part of a strategy to expand the scope of targets to include vital centers, at a time when warplanes continue their intensive flights in Iranian airspace.
On the other hand, the Israeli Ministry of Health revealed that the number of injured Israelis has reached 1,929 people since the start of the confrontation on February 28th. The ministry explained that hospitals received 157 new injuries in recent hours, with dozens still receiving treatment in emergency departments and intensive care.
The severity of injuries within Israel varies, with 9 critically injured and 42 moderately injured, while the remaining cases were described as minor or resulting from panic. Medical authorities appealed to settlers to adhere to shelters and exercise extreme caution when hearing sirens to avoid injuries resulting from stampedes or shrapnel.
At the beginning of March, the city of Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, witnessed the fall of an Iranian missile that killed 9 people and injured 27 others, the highest toll since the start of the war. The shelling caused extensive material damage to residential buildings and widespread fires, necessitating the intervention of explosives experts and ambulance teams to secure the affected area.
Military operations since the end of February have targeted 9,669 civilian units across Iran, including homes, schools, and health centers.
