Hundreds of people have been killed across the Middle East since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, with Gulf states that host U.S. military bases and personnel as well as Lebanon quickly drawn into the conflict.
Here are the death tolls from the war as reported by countries as of March 10, more than a week after it began. Reuters has not independently verified these deaths.
IRAN — At least 1,270 people have been killed, according to state media reports, including 40 people who were killed on Monday in an Israeli strike on a residential area in Tehran. It was unclear if the overall death toll included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military casualties. The Iranian army has said that at least 104 people were killed after a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka’s coast last week. Those deaths were not included in the toll given by the Red Crescent.
LEBANON — At least 486 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
IRAQ — At least 15 people have been killed, according to Iraqi police and health officials. One commander from Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, was killed in an airstrike on his vehicle on March 5, police sources told Reuters.
ISRAEL — The military said two soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, the first fatalities among its troops since hostilities with Hezbollah resumed last week after the group attacked Israel in support of Iran. Eleven civilians have been killed, including nine people in an Iranian missile strike on Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem on March 1, according to Israel’s ambulance service Magen David Adom.
UNITED STATES — Seven service members have been killed in action during operations against Iran, the U.S. military said.
SYRIA — Four people were killed when an Iranian missile struck a building in the southern Syrian city of Sweida on February 28, state news agency SANA said.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — Six people have been killed in Iranian attacks, according to the UAE’s defense ministry.
SAUDI ARABIA — Two people were killed when a projectile fell on a residential location in Al-Kharj city, southeast of the capital Riyadh.
BAHRAIN — Two people were killed in two separate Iranian attacks, with the most recent hitting a residential building in the capital Manama, according to the interior ministry.
KUWAIT — Two people, including a child, have been killed in Iranian attacks on the country, according to Kuwait’s health ministry. Two interior ministry officers and two army soldiers were also killed on duty, the army said.
OMAN — One person was killed after a projectile hit the Marshall Islands–flagged product tanker MKD VYOM off the coast of Muscat.
