TEHRAN -- Iran's Health Ministry announced Friday over 3,000 people have been injured in the country since the beginning of Israel's attacks.

Hossein Kermanpour, head of the Iranian Health Ministry's public relations, said among the injuries, 2,800 people had been hospitalized, of whom 2,000 were discharged from the hospital, according to a statement published on the ministry's website.

The latest official figures from Iran report 224 deaths from Israeli attacks.

On June 13, Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, killing several senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. In retaliation, Iran carried out missile and drone attacks on various locations in Israel, causing casualties and substantial damage. The conflict continued into Friday.
