The Israeli military announced on Sunday that its forces dropped at least 2,000 bombs across Iran in the first 30 hours of the war against Iran, which these officials said is more than half of what it fired during the previous 12-day war last summer, according to a report.
The IDF is preparing major strikes to take out Iranian allies in the Middle East to prevent groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis from joining the fight if a large-scale war between the U.S. and Tehran breaks out.
Israel’s increased number of attacks on Palestinians across Gaza and the West Bank raises new concerns that the military is carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in the territories, according to a new report issued by OHCHR, the UN human rights office.
The official death toll in Gaza reached 72,037 and 171,666 people have been injured.
Israel killed at least 71,800 Palestinians since October 2023 and injured 171,555. The IDF also killed up to 529 since the President Donald Trump-backed ceasefire. Another 1,400 have been injured.
Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, said last week that Iran’s government “days are numbered,” because a “regime” cannot survive when the only way it maintains power over its people is through “sheer violence and terror.”
The killing in Gaza continues, despite President Donald Trump’s ceasefire. Israel has killed more than 71,660 and injured 171,419 since the genocidal war began on 8 October 2023.
The Israeli military and Shin Bet security agency released data on Monday that found a 27 percent increase in “settler” violence against Palestinians in the West Bank in 2025, according to a report.
The IDF destroyed at least 2,500 buildings inside Gaza since the start of the October 2025 ceasefire, The New York Times reported, citing satellite images, because international journalists are not allowed inside the enclave.
At least 71,424 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the Gaza genocide began in October 2023, and at least 171,324 have been injured, according to health officials in the enclave.
