The Balance of Israel's Attacks on Tehran

For his part, Israeli Army spokesman Effie Defrin said this Monday in a press conference that the air force has killed more than 1,900 Iranian soldiers and commanders since the beginning of the war, which has already lasted more than a week. Yesterday, the Israeli air force announced that it had hit 400 military targets of the ayatollahs' regime in western and central Iran, including ballistic missile launchers and weapons production plants, according to the IDF itself. Yesterday, it also attacked fuel depots in Tehran and nearby areas for the first time, causing at least four deaths, forcing gasoline rationing to 20 liters per person per day, and leaving the Iranian capital enveloped in a toxic cloud, a mixture of rain and smoke. On the other hand, the number of deaths due to the intense Israeli air offensive against Lebanon reaches 394, including 83 children, and the number of injured to 1,130, according to data released on Sunday by the Lebanese Minister of Public Health, Rakan Nasreddine.
