Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 639 people, rights group says

Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 639 people and wounded 1,329 others, a human rights group says.

The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists releases the figures, which cover the entirety of Iran. It says of those dead, it identified 263 civilians and 154 security force personnel killed.

Human Rights Activists, which also provided detailed casualty figures during the 2022 protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, cross-checks local reports in Iran against a network of sources it has developed in the country.

Iran has not given regular death tolls during the conflict and has minimized casualties in the past. Its last update, issued Monday, put the death toll at 224 people killed and 1,277 others wounded.
