Iran-Israel Conflict Kills 224 Civilians, Hits Multiple Cities

The conflict between Iran and Israel has entered its fourth day, marked by relentless missile exchanges leading to significant casualties and destruction in both countries. Iranian missile strikes have targeted Israeli cities including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikva, causing civilian deaths and injuries, while Israeli airstrikes have focused on Iranian military installations, government facilities, and energy infrastructure, resulting in heavy Iranian civilian casualties. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed to have used a new missile attack method that disrupted Israel's defense systems, though this claim remains unverified. High-profile military casualties have occurred, including the deaths of Iran's Revolutionary Guards intelligence chief Mohammad Kazemi and commander Hossein Salami from Israeli strikes. The ongoing hostilities have drawn international concern, with G7 leaders meeting amid fears of a broader regional war, and U.S. President Donald Trump rejecting an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader while acknowledging potential U.S. involvement. Both sides continue their operations with significant casualties and infrastructure damage, as diplomatic efforts for de-escalation persist.
