430 dead and 3,500 wounded in the ongoing Israeli attack on Iran

The Iranian Ministry of Health reported that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on Iran has risen to 430, with more than 3,500 civilians injured.

Iranian media reported on Saturday that a child was killed and two people were injured in an Israeli attack on a civilian building in the Iranian city of Qom.

She stated that Israel carried out an attack on the Salariya neighborhood in the city of Qom, which led to the death of a 16-year-old child and the injury of two other people, while five Iranians were killed, following an attack launched by Israeli aircraft on the city of Khorramabad.

She confirmed that Iran activated air defenses simultaneously in eastern and western Tehran as a result of the ongoing Israeli attack, while three explosions were heard in the northeast of the capital. She added that Israel targeted the Isfahan nuclear facility, one of Iran's largest, adding that there was no leakage of dangerous materials as a result.

In this context, Israeli media reported that air raid sirens sounded in various areas of Israel following Iran's launch of five ballistic missiles.

Since June 13, Israel has launched extensive attacks on Iran, targeting nuclear, military, and oil facilities, as well as military leaders and nuclear scientists in the capital, Tehran, the Tabriz region in western East Azerbaijan Province, Isfahan, and several other Iranian provinces. Iran has responded by launching ballistic missiles and a drone into Israeli territory, in the largest direct confrontation between the two sides.
