Israel Has Dropped 4,000 Bombs on Iran - The Same Amount as 12-Day War in a Third of the Time

"The Israeli military announced that it dropped as many bombs on Iran as Israel used during the entirety of the 12-day war last year over just a third of the time this week, signalling the severity of the Israeli military's bombardment without even counting the bombardments carried out by U.S. forces."

"The death toll has already surpassed that of last year's war. The Iranian government reported on Thursday that at least 1,230 people have been killed thus far, and the toll is expected to rise rapidly as the bombardments continue to unfold."

"The Iranian Red Crescent Society said on Thursday that 4,000 civilian buildings in Iran have been damaged by U.S. and Israeli bombardments so far. This includes at least 105 strikes on civilian sites, including 14 medical facilities."

Israeli military operations against Iran have intensified dramatically, with the Israeli military dropping more bombs in four days than during the entire 12-day war last June. Israeli spokesperson Effie Defrin confirmed that approximately 4,000 bombs were dropped during last year's conflict, a figure already surpassed by Tuesday of the current week. The death toll has exceeded last year's war, with Iranian officials reporting 1,230 killed and human rights groups documenting 1,114 civilian deaths including 183 children. The Iranian Red Crescent Society reports 4,000 civilian buildings damaged, including 14 medical facilities. U.S. forces have also participated in bombardments, though specific figures remain unreported. The intensity suggests operations may continue for weeks or months.
