Recent reports indicate that Israeli airstrikes on Iran resulted in significant casualties among Iranian military personnel. At least 26 members of the Iranian military and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed, and over 40 others were injured during the operation. The strikes occurred shortly after Iranian air defense radar systems were reportedly hacked, causing their screens to freeze five minutes prior to the attacks. This breach allowed Israeli aircraft to penetrate Iranian airspace without detection. The information has been corroborated by multiple sources, including Iranian media and The Independent.
