More than 200 people were injured in the Iranian attacks on Israel, according to the data of the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom, while the Iranian ministry announced that at least 800 people were wounded in the Israeli attacks on Iran.
Initially, there were reports of 70 injuries in Israel, two of them seriously. Three people died,
In Iran, according to official government figures, at least 800 people were injured in Israeli attacks, and according to Iran's ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani, almost 100 were killed.

Iran responded with drone and missile attacks on Israel.
Exchange of threats
Netanyahu said the Israeli strikes had set back Iran's nuclear program by perhaps several years and rejected international calls for restraint.
"We will hit every location and every target of the ayatollah's regime, and what they have felt so far is nothing compared to what awaits them in the coming days," Netanyahu said in a video message.
Iranian state television reported on Saturday that "heavy and devastating" Iranian attacks against Israel could be expected in the coming hours, as the Israeli military continued to strike targets across Iran.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Saturday that the Israeli military had killed more than 20 military commanders in strikes on Iran.
A day after Israel wiped out the very top of Iran's military command in a surprise attack on Iran, it appears to have struck Iran's oil and gas industry for the first time, with Iranian media reporting a fire at a gas field.
Iran has partially halted gas production at the world's largest gas field after Israel caused a fire there on Saturday, the Tasnim news agency reported. Iran's oil ministry said the fire had been extinguished.
Iran shares the South Pars oil field with Qatar. An attack on it could mean a major escalation of the conflict, which already pushed oil prices up nine percent on Friday, even though Israel did not attack Iran's oil and gas sector on the first day of its attack.
