Iran Confirms 935 Killed in Israeli Attacks, Including Women and Children
Speaking to local media, Jahangir said the latest forensic data confirms the deaths of hundreds, including 132 women and 38 children, calling them 'martyrs of the Zionist regime's aggression.' Iran's state-run IRNA news agency published his comments.
The conflict erupted after months of rising tensions, eventually boiling over into open warfare. While Israel has not officially acknowledged the full scope of its military operations inside Iranian territory, it claimed it was responding to what it called an 'unprecedented threat' posed by Iran's regional activities and missile capabilities.
Iran, meanwhile, has framed the war as a direct attack on its sovereignty and people. Large-scale funerals and mourning ceremonies have been held across major cities, with state media showing crowds calling for international accountability.
Regional and Global Concern
The war between Israel and Iran marks a major escalation in a region already on edge. The violence has raised fears of a broader conflict, especially given the strategic alliances on both sides—Iran with groups like Hezbollah and regional partners, and Israel backed strongly by the United States.
Human rights organizations have called for independent investigations into civilian casualties. 'The numbers out of Iran are shocking, and if confirmed, they represent a grave humanitarian crisis,' one UN official said on condition of anonymity.
While fighting has stopped for now, the humanitarian toll is only beginning to come into focus. Hospitals are overwhelmed, infrastructure has been damaged, and thousands have been displaced.
As the world watches what could become a defining chapter in Middle Eastern geopolitics, the families of the 935 victims are left mourning amid ruins.

Lazzarini: 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Offers Palestinians Nothing but Gunfire'
DaysofPal- UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini sharply criticized the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' asserting on Tuesday that the Us-Israel initiative delivers nothing to civilians in Gaza 'except starvation and gunfire.' In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lazzarini stated that over 130 international humanitarian NGOs have called for the restoration of a unified, UN-led coordination and distribution based on international humanitarian law, inclusive of UNRWA. He emphasized that the widespread humanitarian community is urging an end to the foundation's operations, accusing it of contributing to deadly chaos rather than providing relief. 'Since this scheme began, at least 500 starving people have been reported killed and nearly 4,000 injured while desperately struggling to get food,' Lazzarini wrote. Earlier today, 11 Palestinians were killed and others wounded after Israeli forces targeted civilians waiting for aid near the so-called 'Netzarim Corridor' in central Gaza and north of Rafah. According to field data, the number of civilians killed at American-Israeli aid distribution points has risen to 591 deaths, 4,216 injuries, and 39 missing, all of whom were unarmed, starving civilians searching for food under siege conditions. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation —with full backing from the United States—has been waging what international experts describe as a genocidal war on Gaza. The campaign has resulted in over 189,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the majority of whom are women and children, with more than 11,000 reported missing. Shortlink for this post:

Hamas labels ceasefire reports as 'fabricated' and 'completely rejected
DaysofPal – The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has categorically denied a report by Sky News Arabia claiming the group has agreed to a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal with Israel. The report, which cited an anonymous 'Palestinian source,' was dismissed by Hamas as fabricated and misleading. Izzat al-Risheq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said in a statement that the report is 'fully fabricated' and 'does not reflect the group's actual position.' 'We completely reject it,' al-Risheq asserted. 'This report is an attempt to distract from war crimes and incite against the Palestinian resistance.' He emphasized that Hamas' demands are publicly known and have not changed, rejecting the use of unnamed sources that 'serve the occupation's narrative.' According to al-Risheq, these fabrications aim to undermine the resistance and shift focus away from the devastating toll of Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, which has killed over 56,000 Palestinians. 'When the Zionist system fails to break the will of Gaza, it launches coordinated media smear campaigns,' al-Risheq said. He described the Sky News report as part of a campaign to 'divert attention from war crimes, cheaply incite against Hamas and the Palestinian resistance, and distort its firm and declared positions.' Among the conditions set by Hamas for any ceasefire agreement are a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a permanent end to the war. The group has also reiterated its demand for a prisoner exchange deal but insists that no deal has been finalized. Sky News Arabia had reported on Saturday that Hamas was demanding a number of conditions in exchange for an agreement, including protection for its political office and members abroad, immunity from asset confiscation or detention, and a role in Gaza's post-war administration and security forces. The report also claimed Hamas was seeking a U.S. guarantee to end the war during a proposed 70-day truce period. Al-Risheq, however, rejected these claims, reiterating that Hamas communicates its positions publicly and does not rely on unnamed intermediaries. On Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump offered his thoughts on the matter, saying, 'Complete the agreement in Gaza and bring back the hostages.' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by saying his cooperation with Trump would 'make the Middle East great again.' An Israeli official confirmed that plans are underway for Netanyahu to visit Washington in the coming weeks but declined to provide further details. Trump, speaking to reporters on Friday, said a ceasefire agreement 'could happen next week' and confirmed that efforts to resolve the Gaza conflict are ongoing. Shortlink for this post:
