Israel: Over 3,000 Iranian Soldiers and Operatives Killed since Start of War
(Ynet News) Yossi Yehoshua - More than 3,000 Iranian soldiers and operatives linked to the regime have been killed since the start of the war in strikes by the Israel Air Force and U.S. forces, according to Israeli assessments presented to the political leadership. Israeli security officials say the toll reflects strikes on military headquarters, launch sites and other installations across Iran, with some casualties believed to remain buried under rubble. The Israel Air Force has dropped 5,500 munitions across Iran, averaging about 1,000 per day. It has carried out 12 large-scale strike missions targeting Tehran, destroying dozens of military headquarters and government institutions where Iranian operatives were present. Israeli officials say a decline in missile alerts has been noticeable on the home front. The situation inside Israel is beginning to resemble lower-intensity confrontations such as the conflict with the Houthis. Israeli military officials say regime change may be necessary but could come only after the military campaign concludes. A senior IDF official said, "There is no intention of stopping until all the targets are struck. One way or another, this campaign will end with a very significant weakening of Iranian capabilities for many years."
