How many people have been killed in the US-Israel war on Iran since the conflict began?

Since the U.S. and Israel struck Iran on February 28, thousands of people have been killed across the Middle East.

Those strikes triggered Iranian attacks on Israel, U.S. bases and the Gulf states, while opening a new front in Lebanon.

Here are the latest death tolls reported.

IRAN

U.S.-based rights group HRANA said 3,527 people have been killed since the war erupted. It said 1,606 of those were civilians, including at least 244 children.

The group says ⁠its data comes from field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, open-source materials 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 Iran in the U.S.-Israeli strikes so far. It was not clear if those figures included at least 104 people who the Iranian military said were killed in a U.S. attack on an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka on March 4.

LEBANON

Lebanese authorities say 1,345 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since March ⁠2, including at least 124 children.

More than 400 fighters from Hezbollah 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 count told Reuters. It is unclear if the death toll reported by the authorities includes the fighters. At least nine Lebanese soldiers have been killed since March 2 in Israeli ⁠strikes on Lebanon, with most of the casualties in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese army.

Meanwhile, three United Nations peacekeepers from Indonesia were killed in two ​separate incidents in ⁠southern Lebanon, one from a roadside explosion, the other involving ‌a projectile.

IRAQ

At least 108 people have been killed since the start of the crisis, according to Iraqi health authorities. Those include civilians, members of the Iran-affiliated Shi’ite Popular Mobilisation Forces, U.S.-allied Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, police and army.

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