US and Israeli airstrikes have killed nearly 300 Iranian and Lebanese children<\/a> over the past nine days as the attackers target apartment towers, single-family homes, schools, medical facilities, and other civilian infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Health Ministry said<\/a> Sunday that 198 women and 190 minors have been killed by US and Israeli attacks since February 28, including six children under the age of 5. The youngest reported victim is an 8-month-old girl. Children account for more than 30% of those killed, according to the ministry, which also said that 1,044 women and 638 children have been injured.<\/p>\n

Overall, Iran said that more than 1,300 people have been killed by the airstrikes, which are reportedly targeting 30 of the country\u2019s 31 provinces.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese Health Ministry announced<\/a> Sunday that 394 people, including 42 women and 83 children, have been killed by Israel Defense Forces<\/a> (IDF) attacks after Iran-backed Hezbollah<\/a> joined the war.<\/p>\n

The US-based charity Save the Children noted<\/a> Monday that the number of slain Iranian and Lebanese minors is the equivalent of \u201c10 classrooms full of children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is devastating that airstrikes in Lebanon<\/a> have reportedly caused the deaths of 83 children… among nearly 300 children killed in the region,\u201d said Save the Children Lebanon director Nora Ingdal. \u201cThese are not just numbers \u2013 these are young lives cut short and children whose futures have been forever scarred by war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel claims it has killed around 200 Hezbollah fighters. However, the IDF\u2019s routine attacks on apartment towers and other residential buildings have drawn widespread condemnation.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, an IDF strike massacred 18 people<\/a> sheltering in an apartment building in Sir El-Gharbiyeh in Nabatieh district. The building was housing some of the nearly 700,000 Lebanese forcibly displaced<\/a> by Israeli attacks, including around 200,000 children. Local officials said women and children were among the victims.<\/p>\n

Israeli airstrikes hit a residential block in Sir Al-Gharbiya, a village in southern Lebanon, early this morning, killing at least 20 civilians, among them women and children.<\/p>\n
