Iran/Israeli – More than 650 people have been killed in Iran following a massive Israeli bombing campaign launched a week ago, an activist group said on Friday.
The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported that 657 people have died and 2,037 have been injured in the nationwide airstrikes.
The Iranian government does not publish daily figures on casualties.
HRANA relies on a broad network of informants and publicly available sources.
The group said the dead include at least 263 civilians and 164 members of the military.
Another 230 fatalities remain unidentified.
The network also reported damage to civilian infrastructure, including a projectile striking a children’s hospital in Tehran, which did not result in any injuries.
In the western province of Ilam, a fire station was damaged, HRANA said, while an Israeli attack on a car factory in western Iran triggered a large fire.
Israel maintains its objective is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which it considers an existential threat.
