Missiles of Lies: Iran’s “Precision” War That Kills Civilians and Threatens Holy Sites
At newenhlishreview ^ | 03.22.2026

Posted on 03/22/2026 7:18:32 AM PDT by Milagros

Based on reports as of March 21, 2026, the vast majority of Israeli deaths from Iranian strikes have been civilians. Reports indicate that 15 civilians in Israel were killed by Iranian missile attacks [1, Fondation Institut kurde de Paris]. This includes 13 Israelis, a Filipino caregiver, and a Thai national, indicating nearly 100% of reported direct fatalities are civilians. Fondation Institut kurde de Paris

Casualty Breakdown:
Approximately 15 civilians were killed by Iranian missiles since the beginning of the conflict.

Injuries: Approximately 260+ people were injured in Israel during this period, according to Magen David Adom.

Just like in the past, the Iranian Islamofascistic regime's recent missile barrages against Israel in March 2026 have repeatedly demonstrated reckless endangerment of civilian lives and sacred religious sites—striking or narrowly missing areas with no legitimate military value, while the mullahs in Tehran claim to target only military objectives. These attacks underscore the regime's disregard for human life, including Palestinian civilians, and its willingness to risk catastrophic escalation around the world's most sensitive holy places.

**March 17, 2026**: Iranian missiles were fired in the direction of Jerusalem, with reports of fire or debris landing perilously close to holy sites including the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa compound and the Western Wall. This provocative act by the ayatollahs' forces threatened Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike, drawing widespread condemnation for endangering sacred ground under the guise of "resistance." *

**March 18, 2026**: An Iranian missile—described in some accounts as cluster-style—intended for southern Israel veered off course and struck a beauty salon (housed in a converted caravan) in the Palestinian town of Beit Awwa near Hebron in the West Bank. Four innocent Arab Palestinian women were killed, with reports of 6–13 others injured (primarily women). This tragic spillover killed civilians in a non-combat area far from any Israeli military target, highlighting how the regime's indiscriminate barrages harm the very Palestinians it falsely claims to champion. *

**March 20, 2026 (Friday)**: Amid a larger Iranian ballistic missile salvo, Israeli defenses intercepted a projectile over/near Jerusalem. The warhead (or a large intact fragment) crashed into a parking lot in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City—roughly 400 meters (a quarter mile) from the Western Wall and the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa compound. While damage was limited to the parking area and injuries were minor, the strike's proximity to these irreplaceable holy sites raised grave fears of irreparable damage or mass casualties during prayers. Israeli officials and international observers rightly labeled this an outrageous endangerment of shared religious heritage by a regime that shows contempt for all faiths. * * *

**March 21, 2026**: Iranian missiles targeted southern Israel, achieving a direct hit in the city of Arad. The impact struck a residential neighborhood home to the Gur Hasidim (Gerrer Hasidic community)—devout Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jews, many of whom are non-Zionist and do not serve in the IDF. The strike caused extensive blast damage to multiple buildings, with over 100 people injured (including children, some critically), mass casualty declarations, and fears of fatalities. Hitting a civilian area populated by pious, non-combatant religious Jews further exposes the regime's claims of precision as a sham—its missiles terrorize innocents regardless of politics or military affiliation.

These incidents reveal a pattern: the Iranian regime's missiles repeatedly miss intended (or claimed) military targets, instead threatening or striking civilian zones, killing Palestinian women in the West Bank, endangering Jerusalem's holy sites revered by billions, and wounding Ultra-Orthodox communities that pose no threat. Far from strategic warfare, this reflects the desperation and moral bankruptcy of a theocratic dictatorship lashing out recklessly, endangering lives across faiths and borders while achieving little beyond civilian suffering and global outrage.

This article doesn’t even need to make this case. The IRGC helped plan the October 7 attacks on Israel, which included intentional rapes of civilians and murder of children. The Iranian government has a policy of using proxy terrorist organizations around the world to commit terror attacks on civilians. The Iranian government also uses rape as instrument of terror against its own population. Lobbing missiles and drones indiscriminately into civilian populations areas is par for the course for them and doesn’t need to be proven. The Iranian government is a thoroughly loathsome regime that is not “the same” as the US, Israel, European governments or even Gulf State governments for that matter.

They could not care less who they kill and maim.

They know they are going down and want to create as much death, destruction and chaos as possible on the way out.

The firing of their missiles and rockets is tantamount to what’s commonly referred to as “spray and pray” and this video is a perfect example:

Strait of Hormuz kind of looks like a hook from space, doesn’t it? 24 fishes hooked already. BTW, don’t be surprised if an Iranian missile takes out the Dome of the Rock and El Asqa.

They are remarkably inaccurate, but deadly nonetheless.

That warhead came within 200 yards of the Al-Aqsa mosque. And of course if it had hit it, the America- and Jew-hating scumbags would say that Israel allowed it to happen on purpose. Funny how Candyass and others never bother to mention how the Muslims destroyed a Byzantine church to build it.

To put this war in perspective, how many people have been shot to death in the gun-controlled utopia of Chicago since the war began three weeks ago?

Yes, and it wasn't even situated inside a military compound:

Red alert sirens sounded this morning (Sunday) in the central region following the launch of a missile with a cluster warhead from Iran. Fragments from the interception fell near a school in Holon, causing damage. MDA reported that there were no casualties as a result of the impact.

Its ironic the most cogent explanation of Iran's position comes from China, which fears losing Iran as an ally and source of energy.

This simply can’t be true. Trump says we have won and their weapons have been destroyed.

Not the missiles, drones, rockets. They have a huge arsenal. So does their Hezbollah. And they can reach Europe to some estimates

Israel is fighting those who use civilians so that propagandists can defame them.

Such as genocidal Palestine regime usage of its people, in a brutal calculation
