"I was changing my clothes when the air raid came. I didn't even know what happened. It felt like something huge hit the building and the glass was shattered. The whole building seemed to be flipped to the ground. That's what happened. I haven't seen my wife and daughter since then, never seen them again," Hamidian said.
Hamidian said several residential buildings near his house were severely damaged, and his neighbors were either injured or killed. He still could not figure out why Israel targeted civilians like him with bombs.
"I'm not a soldier, and I've never been in the military. You can check it if you want. I'm just a self-employed person. That's all. I don't know why they are attacking us. I hope Israel will be punished because they killed innocent women and children. They destroyed my 42-year life in one second," he said, weeping.
Since the conflict broke out, Iran's medical system has remained operational, with little shortage of medicines, but medical staff have been overwhelmed.
"Since the beginning of this conflict that was imposed on us, our hospital has received about 70 injured people, and about 20 of them required hospitalization. Five or six underwent emergency surgery. Two others were so seriously injured that they died before they could be taken to the emergency room after being rescued from the attack site. And later, another one died in an intensive care unit. There is nothing we can do about it," said Alireza Manafi, president of the Imam Hossein Hospital.
On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on different areas in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. Iran responded by launching several waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel, inflicting casualties and heavy damage.
On Saturday, the U.S. Air Force bombed three Iranian nuclear sites of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In retaliation, Iran on Monday targeted the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with missiles.
Following Iran's attack, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between the two sides would begin around 04:00 GMT Tuesday. Both Iran and Israel later confirmed the start of the ceasefire.
The death toll from Israeli strikes across Iran over the past 12 days has reached 606, with 5,332 others injured, Iran's Health Minister Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Israel's Health Ministry has reported 28 fatalities and 3,238 injuries on its side since the onset of the conflict.
