Iranian authorities said Monday that at least 935 people were killed in Zionist attacks during a 12-day war with “Israel.”
The fatalities included 132 women and 38 children, Judiciary Authority spokesman Asghar Jahangir said in a statement cited by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The Health Ministry earlier put the death toll at 606, in addition to 5,332 injured people.
Jahangir said “Israeli” strikes on the Evin Prison in the northwest of Tehran claimed 79 lives, including prisoners, staff members, and locals living nearby.
Evin Prison was rendered inoperable, and the prisoners were evacuated, he said, calling the attack a “blatant violation of the basic human rights and international resolutions.”
