Iran israel conflict: After the recently ended war between Iran and Israel, a heartbreaking revelation has come to light. A few days after the ceasefire, the Iranian media and international reports have stated that not only targeted scientists, but also their entire family were targeted in the attacks carried out by Israel. Especially in an attack, 11 members of his entire family along with an atomic scientist were killed. These included women, children and elders.
Action under Operation ‘Rising Lion’
On 13 June, Israel targeted several nuclear bases, scientists and military officers of Iran under ‘Operation Rising Lion’. Preparations were being done for this operation for a long time and the Israeli intelligence agency ‘Mossad’ was constantly monitoring every activity of these targets. According to Israeli claims, only the target was killed in these attacks. But now the reports that came out after the ceasefire are questioning these claims.
10 scientists were targeted, the whole family was also killed with 1
Israel targeted a total of 10 Iranian nuclear scientists. The family members of one of these scientists told the media that his entire family was present at the house at the time of the attack. Along with the scientist, all 11 members of the family also died in this attack. The bodies of women, children and the elderly are seen in the pictures shared on social media. This incident opens the claim of Israeli’s ‘accurate attack’.
Astaneh Ashrafih became a death ground
The deadly attack took place in the city of Astaneh Ashrafih located near the Caspian Sea in the northern part of Iran. Press TV, a government channel of Iran’s English language, said that the name of the killed scientist was Seedighi Saber. Al Jazira’s report said that the whole family was at home at the time of the attack and no one got a chance to run away. The attack was so accurate and fierce that all the members of the house were killed on the spot.
The attack took place a few hours before the ceasefire
The ceasefire was announced on 24 June, but the attack was carried out a few hours before the same day. That is, just before the announcement of peace, Israel had made its last big attack. The Iranian media says that this attack had neither had anything to do with the military need nor was it only focused on the scientist, but it was like a “collective genocide”.
Questions raised on Israeli strategy
After this attack, questions are now being raised internationally on the claims of Israeli military policy and “surgical strikes”. Was these attacks really to prevent terrorism and nuclear threat, or was the lives of innocents intentionally ignored? These attacks have been described by Iran as war crime, and international human rights organizations have also demanded an inquiry into the matter.
