A Washington-based human rights group has reported a stark escalation in violence, with Israeli strikes purportedly killing 585 individuals across Iran and wounding 1,326. Of those killed, 239 were civilians, and 126 were security personnel, a report from Human Rights Activists stated.
The group has a history of providing detailed casualty figures, as seen during the 2022 protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini. They have developed a network within Iran to crosscheck local reports, offering a different narrative to that of the Iranian government, which has traditionally minimized the impact of such conflicts.
Official figures from Iran, last updated on Monday, reported a total of 224 deaths and 1,277 injuries. The discrepancy between the numbers from the two sources highlights the ongoing struggle for accurate information amid the conflict.
