Iran says over 600 people killed in war with Israel

Iran's health ministry spokesman on Wednesday said 610 people were killed and 4,700 wounded throughout a 12-day war with Israel, adding that just over a hundred were killed in the final night of the conflict.

Among the dead were 49 women, two of them pregnant. The ministry added that 13 of those killed were children, the youngest two-months-old.

The figures fell short on independent human rights group HRANA's estimated death toll of 1,054 people, mostly civilians but including at least over 300 military personnel.
