Casualty figures from the US-Israeli assault on Iran and the Iranian response remain deeply uncertain and are rising by the hour.

Iran
Iran's Health Ministry now reports approximately 180 children killed in the strike on Shajarah Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, where girls aged seven to twelve were in class when the missile hit.
A second school in Tehran's Narmak district was also struck, killing two more students.
Overall deaths across Iran have reached at least 555, with casualty figures from two hospital strikes in Tehran still unconfirmed as rescue operations continue.
Israel
In Israel, an Iranian ballistic missile struck residential buildings and a synagogue shelter in Beit Shemesh, killing nine people and wounding dozens, among them at least seven children hospitalized in Jerusalem.
Lebanon
In Lebanon, Israeli strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and the Bekaa Valley following Hezbollah rocket attacks have killed at least 31 and wounded 149, with casualty figures still incomplete as mass displacement of families continues. Tens of thousands of civilians, including large numbers of children, are fleeing Dahiyeh and southern Lebanon on foot and by car, taking shelter in Beirut schools. One teenager, a 16-year-old Syrian boy, was killed in an Israeli strike on Kfar Dan near Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley.
