Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that Israel is enduring “many losses, painful losses” as a result of ongoing Iranian attacks, according to The Times of Israel.
In his daily video address on Wednesday, Netanyahu expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump for offering steadfast support. “We are in continuous communication, including last night — we had a very warm conversation,” he said, highlighting the close coordination between the two allies amid rising regional tensions.
The conflict escalated sharply on Friday when Israel launched a series of airstrikes targeting various sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities. In response, Tehran retaliated with missile attacks that have since intensified the hostilities.
Israeli officials have reported at least 24 fatalities and hundreds of injuries resulting from the Iranian strikes. On the other side, Iranian media claim that 585 people have been killed and over 1,300 wounded in the ongoing Israeli assault on Iranian territory.
