It was the first time Iraq had given a casualty toll from the strikes.

Neither side has issued an official casualty toll for the conflict.

The casualty toll, at least 10 killed and 70 wounded, was one of the worst so far this year.

The casualty toll was the highest since a similar attack by Israel four months ago.

Later, the casualty toll was raised to "up to 50 dead" and 300 wounded on that day.

The casualty toll in the fighting so far is 92 people killed and more than 100 wounded, according to police figures.

The casualty toll for the 2nd/7th was 155 killed, 125 wounded and at least four men missing in action.

Other reports placed the casualty toll at 2 dead and 30 wounded.

However, later reports indicated that the casualty toll might have been much higher.

The casualty toll is expected to rise, according to other officials and to news reports from the site.
