Thousands of people have been killed across the Middle East in the Iran war, which began with the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28, sparking Iranian attacks on Israel, US bases and the Gulf states, while also opening a new front in Lebanon.

Reuters has published the latest data, which it notes has not been independently verified, reports HINA.

Iran

The American human rights group HRANA said that 3,461 people have been killed since the outbreak of the war. She stated that 1,551 of them were civilians, including at least 236 children.

The group claims its data comes from field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, open source material and official statements.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said on Friday that at least 1,900 people have been killed and 20,000 injured in the US-Israeli attacks so far in Iran. It is not clear whether those figures include at least 104 people who the Iranian military said were killed in a US attack on an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka on March 4.

Lebanon

Lebanese authorities say 1,189 people, including at least 124 children, have been killed in Israeli strikes since March 2.

More than 400 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since the Lebanese armed group launched attacks in a new war with Israel on March 2, two sources familiar with the group’s numbers told Reuters. It is not clear whether the death toll reported by the authorities includes the number of combatants.

Iraq

At least 100 people have been killed since the crisis began, according to Iraqi health authorities. They include civilians, members of the Iran-linked Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters – US allies – and soldiers.

One foreign crew member was killed in an attack on tankers near an Iraqi port, according to port security officials.

Israel

Rockets fired from Iran and Lebanon toward Israel killed 19 people in Israel, according to Israel’s emergency services. The Israeli army said four of its soldiers were also killed in southern Lebanon. Separately, on March 22, Israeli forces missed their target and killed an Israeli farmer near the border with Lebanon.

United States of America

Thirteen members of the army were killed. Six people have been confirmed dead after a US military refueling plane crashed over Iraq, the US military said, while seven others were killed in action during operations against Iran.

Twelve US soldiers were wounded, two of them seriously, in an Iranian military attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, a US official told Reuters on Friday.
