Israel and Iran's long-simmering tensions erupted into missile attacks last Friday, when Israel launched a suprise attack against military and nuclear targets in Iran and wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command.

Iran has not been publishing regular death tolls during the conflict, its last update, issued Monday, put the death toll at 224 people killed and 1,277 others wounded. Iran has retaliated against Israel’s airstrike campaign by launching some 400 missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel.
