Israeli news outlet ynet reports that six bridges were damaged in Iran's Hormozgan province and eight people were killed, citing an unnamed official who said, 'We will continue to fire until quiet returns.' The report revises an earlier account of seven bridges being struck.
ynet reported Friday afternoon that six bridges were damaged in Iran's Hormozgan province and eight people were killed, quoting an unnamed official who warned, 'We will continue to fire until quiet returns.' The report revises earlier accounts of seven bridges being struck in overnight attacks.
The Zioneer's reporting on the strikes began at 06:41 Jerusalem Friday, when initial reports (version 1) described a power plant hit on Kish Island and a railway near Bandar Abbas, with two killed and four wounded. Within the same hour, further reports (versions 2-5) escalated the scope: first five to six bridges in Hormozgan were struck, along with the Chabahar maritime control tower and Iranshahr airport; then six bridges were reported destroyed; and finally seven bridges and train stations, according to an anonymous source cited by i24NEWS. The thread showed a rapid expansion of reported targets, all based on unverified claims.
The wider context includes sustained US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure over recent days. As The Zioneer reported, Iranian media said eight military personnel were killed in strikes near the Strait of Hormuz on July 8, and the Health Ministry confirmed 14 dead and 78 wounded across five provinces on July 9.
The casualty figures in the ynet report have not been independently verified, and the specific locations of the damaged bridges remain undisclosed. The unnamed official's threat of continued firing carries no confirmation of further attacks.
