- The Israeli offensive on Iran has claimed at least 406 lives while wounding at least 654, the Associated Press reports.
- At least 13 Israelis have been killed with hundreds injured as a result of Iranian retaliatory missiles.
Since the beginning of Israel’s initiation of war on Friday, Israel has killed at least 406 Iranian people, with 654 injured in what it deems an offensive to bring down the Iranian regime.
The deaths are a stark difference in comparison to the Israeli deaths that have resulted from Iranian missile strikes in which only about 13 were killed and 300-400 injured.
Israel had initially stated its motivation for carrying out its full-fledged war against Iran was to destroy the Iranian nuclear facilities but has since changed its positioning by announcing the end of the Iranian regime altogether.
From the very first day of the war, Israel has assassinated numerous military leaders of the Iranian regime during its surprise attack on Friday.
Israel has targeted numerous Iranian civilian infrastructure, including oil refineries, a lifeline for the Iranian economy, and today it was also reported thata UAV operated by Israel had targeted the water supply, leading to flooding in Tehran.
This follows Israel’s efforts to present itself as an ally of the Iranian people in opposition to the Iranian regime.
Just hours following Israel’s strikes on Iran on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a direct appeal to the Iranian people and said: “This is your opportunity to stand up.
“We are in the midst of one of the greatest military operations in history.
“The Islamic regime, which has oppressed you for almost 50 years, threatens to destroy our country.”
Israel has portrayed itself as a leader fighting for not just its so-called security, but a country fighting on the side of the Iranian people against its regime, yet amidst all the rhetoric, it continues to attack vital civilian infrastructure.
