The Israeli government reported on Friday that over 1,200 people in "Israel" have been injured in retaliatory strikes by Iran since the Israelis launched their illegal aggression against Iran.
"Since the beginning of the armed conflict, 1,217 people have been injured in Israel due to attacks by Iran: 12 people are in serious condition, 49 people were seriously injured, and 1,156 people were slightly injured," the statement said.
The Israeli government also reported that Iran launched over 450 missiles, with more than 50 striking Israeli territory since the escalation began.

On June 20, a barrage of Iranian missiles penetrated deep into the occupied Palestinian territories, sparking mass panic among settlers and forcing the Israeli regime to declare emergency alerts across all occupied areas.
Air raid sirens blared across the occupied territories, from the northernmost regions to the southern city of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), after initial suspicions of a drone infiltration, before military officials confirmed the launch of dozens of Iranian missiles targeting southern areas, including the occupied Naqab desert.
Iranian state media announced a new missile barrage targeting Israeli-occupied territories, while Israeli outlets characterized the attack as unprecedented in both scale and reach, with projectiles striking locations from central regions to the south, including major cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Israeli Channel 12 detailed a direct missile impact in Haifa that caused extensive property destruction, while other Israeli media sources verified additional strikes in central "Israel's" Gush Dan region, particularly targeting the Beit HaHayal area of Ramat Gan.
Channel 11 reported an unprecedented level of alert, stating that "at one point, every part of Israel from the northern to southern borders was under shelter orders," as the Home Front Command allegedly issued urgent directives ordering all settlers to seek immediate refuge in protected areas.
