March 10, 2026 - IRAN. Hengaw Report on 10th day of war

At least 4,300 killed, including 390 civilians

At least 4,300 people have been killed during the first ten days of the war between the United States, Israel, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, according to verified data compiled by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights. The victims include 390 civilians, accounting for 9.6 percent of the total casualties, while 3,910 were members of Iranian government military forces.
The figures are based on field documentation and data collected since the start of the war on March 1, 2026, and cover the period through March 9, the tenth day of the conflict.

Breakdown of casualties and geographic scope of the attacks
Based on data recorded by the organization’s Statistics and Documentation Center, military and government facilities in 167 cities across 24 provinces of Iran were targeted in air and missile strikes during this period.
The sites targeted included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases, Basij centers, military airports, missile facilities, police stations, judicial institutions, intelligence offices, army garrisons, and special forces headquarters.
Information compiled through these investigations indicates that approximately 3,900 Iranian government military personnel have been killed, most of them affiliated with the IRGC, the Iranian army, and air force units.
The highest military casualties have been recorded in the provinces of Tehran, Kermanshah, Hormozgan, Kurdistan, and Sistan and Baluchestan.

At least 390 civilians killed in the first ten days of the war
The highest number of civilian casualties has been recorded in Hormozgan province. Based on available documentation, a significant portion of those killed were elementary school girls at the “Shajareh Tayyebeh” primary school.
In addition to Hormozgan, civilian deaths—including several minors, children and women—have also been documented in the provinces of Tehran, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Fars, Razavi Khorasan, Qazvin, Alborz, West Azerbaijan (Urmia), and East Azerbaijan.
According to the compiled data, at least 390 civilians have been killed in these attacks, representing 9.6 percent of the total casualties recorded during the first ten days of the war.
Multiple reports received during this period indicate that Iranian military forces have abandoned some military facilities and instead positioned themselves in schools, school dormitories, and mosques located inside civilian residential areas, a practice that could significantly increase the risk of civilian casualties.
In recent days, it was also reported that residents of the Mosk 2 neighborhood in Marivan gathered in protest and prevented government military forces from establishing a position inside a sports hall.

Heavy losses among Iranian government forces in Kurdistan and lack of transparency
During the first ten days of the war, Israeli and U.S. fighter jets carried out extensive strikes on military and government targets. In 32 cities across the provinces of Ilam, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, and West Azerbaijan (Urmia), at least 180 military bases and security centers belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran were targeted.
Investigations indicate that at least 900 members of Iranian government military and security forces were killed in these four provinces during the first ten days of the war.
At the same time, at least 50 civilians were killed in these attacks, with the highest numbers recorded in the cities of Urmia, Sanandaj, Divandarreh, Naqadeh, Bukan, and Kermanshah.
Previous findings also indicate that security institutions have refrained from releasing accurate figures on military casualties—particularly in Kurdish cities—and in the limited cases where figures have been announced, the numbers reported are significantly lower than the actual toll.
Hengaw Organization for Human Rights stresses the urgent need for transparency in identifying victims and for the protection of civilians during armed conflict in accordance with international conventions.
The organization once again calls on international bodies to closely monitor civilian casualties and, in light of the Islamic Republic’s policy of concealment, to firmly oblige all parties involved in the conflict to protect civilian lives.
