Shafaq News- Middle East
About 5,100 people have been killed across the Middle East
until April 8 in fighting between the United States and Israel on one side and
Iran on the other, since hostilities erupted on February 28, according to
figures from Reuters, officials, and rights groups.
Iran
Iran has recorded the highest death toll among all affected
countries, according to HRANA (Human Rights Activists News Agency), a US-based
rights monitoring organization, which reports 3,636 killed since the war began,
including 1,170 civilians, and at least 254 children.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies reported Friday that at least 1,900 civilians have been killed and
20,000 wounded in US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
It remains unclear whether either tally includes the 104
deaths the Iranian military attributed to the sinking of an Iranian warship by
a US submarine off the coast of Sri Lanka on March 4.
Lebanon
Lebanese authorities report 1,530 people killed in Israeli
strikes since March 2, including at least 232 women and children. It is not
confirmed whether the official tally includes Hezbollah fighters.
The figure does not
include the April 8 Israeli attacks on Saida, Srifa, Qasmiyeh, and Tyre, which
killed at least 16 people and wounded more than 40.
The Lebanese Armed Forces separately report at least 10
soldiers killed, the majority in the south. Three Indonesian peacekeepers
serving with UNIFIL were also killed in two separate incidents —one involving
an unidentified explosion, the other a projectile.
Iraq
Iraqi health authorities report at least 117 people killed
since the war began, among them civilians, members of the Popular Mobilization
Forces —an umbrella of predominantly Shiite armed factions integrated into
Iraq’s state security structure— Iraqi Army soldiers, and Kurdish Peshmerga
fighters.
Security officials at an Iraqi port separately confirmed
that a foreign crew member was killed in an attack targeting tankers near the
facility.
Israel
Israel’s emergency medical service reports 23 killed by
missile fire from Iran and Lebanon. The Israeli military states that 12
soldiers were killed and 411 injured in southern Lebanon.
Israel’s Ministry of Health reported Friday that 7,183
wounded have been evacuated to hospitals since the start of military
operations. As of Wednesday, 118 patients remain hospitalized, 14 in critical
condition.
United States
Thirteen US service members have been killed —six following
the crash of a military refueling aircraft in Iraq, seven during operations
against Iran. A US official told Reuters that 12 American soldiers were
wounded, two critically, in an Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in
Saudi Arabia.
United Arab Emirates
UAE authorities report 12 people killed in Iranian attacks,
including two military personnel.
Qatar
Qatar’s Ministry of Defense reports seven people killed on
March 22 when a helicopter crashed over Qatari territorial waters following a mechanical
failure during a routine mission —not a combat incident. Four were Qatari
military personnel, one was a Turkish member of the joint Qatari-Turkish
forces, and two were technicians.
Kuwait
Kuwaiti authorities report seven killed in Iranian attacks,
including three civilians, two from the Interior Ministry, and two from the
armed forces.
West Bank
Four Palestinian women were killed and 13 others injured
when missile debris — identified as Iranian —fell in the Israeli-occupied West
Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Palestinian Authority’s
news agency WAFA.
Syria
Syria’s state news agency SANA reported four people killed
when an Iranian missile struck a building in the southern city of Sweida on
February 28.
Bahrain
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry reports two people killed in two
separate Iranian attacks, the most recent striking a residential building in
Manama.
Oman
Two people were killed in a drone strike on an industrial
zone in Sohar on March 13, the first fatalities recorded in the sultanate,
which has hosted mediation talks between the US and Iran, Oman’s state news
agency reported. A shipping company separately confirmed that a crew member
died after a projectile struck a tanker off the coast of Muscat.
Saudi Arabia
Two foreign workers —a Bangladeshi national and an Indian—
were killed by a military projectile that struck a residential area in
Al-Kharj, southeast of Riyadh, Saudi civil defense said.
France
One French soldier was killed and six others injured in a
drone attack in northern Iraq, where French forces were conducting
counterterrorism training, French authorities confirmed. France is the only
non-Middle Eastern country to record fatalities directly linked to the
conflict.
