SAEDNEWS: Two young boys were killed in Tabriz after shrapnel from an Israeli drone—intercepted over a civilian zone—rained down near Azerbaijan Square, marking yet another grim chapter in what Iranian officials call a systematic campaign of war crimes targeting non-combatants.
According to Saed News, the latest Israeli strike on Iranian territory has claimed the lives of two innocent children in the northwestern city of Tabriz. The victims—Taaha Behroozi and Alisan Jabari, both aged seven—were fatally injured by shrapnel from a drone that was shot down by Iranian defense systems over the crowded Azerbaijan Square.
Though the drone was intercepted, fragments from the mid-air explosion scattered across the area, striking the children who had been nearby. Local reports from Nasr News confirmed the tragic deaths and shared images from the scene that showed the aftermath: twisted drone parts, bloodstained pavement, and grieving family members.
Iranian officials were quick to condemn the incident as yet another war crime committed by Israel. “The targeting of civilian areas, either directly or through reckless provocation, is a clear violation of international humanitarian law,” one government spokesperson stated.
This is not the first time that densely populated areas in Iran have been affected by the widening scope of Israeli attacks. Analysts warn that Israel’s drone and missile operations—many of which occur without formal declaration—are increasingly drawing Iranian civilians into the crosshairs of a shadow war.
The names of Taaha and Alisan are now etched into the growing list of civilian casualties from what Tehran describes as “unprovoked aggression, fueled and shielded by the West.” Social media has erupted in mourning, with citizens calling for justice and stronger deterrence.
The tragedy in Tabriz has reignited debate within Iran over airspace security, civilian protection, and the broader ethical implications of Israel’s military strategy in the region. For the families of the two boys, however, no political response can undo what has been lost.
