What Iran says:
At least 128 people were killed by Israeli attacks across Iran on Friday and Saturday, Irans Health Ministry has been quoted by local media as saying. The Etemaad Daily cited the ministry as saying that around 900 injured individuals were admitted to hospital. At least 40 women, as well as several children, were reported among the victims.

This could be why:
An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in downtown Tehran killed 5 people, Iranian state TV reported on Sunday.
A residential building was targeted in the centre of Tehran, killing five people, the broadcaster said, adding that the death toll may rise due to the densely populated area in central Tehran where the strike hit.

Israel is assassinating nuclear scientists and military leadership. Their families and neighbours are just "collateral damage" in Israel's "unique" moral universe.

I expect them to hit military targets. All of these people would still be alive if this were the case.
