Children play around missiles as remnants of projectiles pictured across Middle East

As the US-Israel war with Iran enters its fourth week, pictures have emerged of projectiles, including missiles, across the Middle East - some in unexpected locations.

On Tuesday, a girl was pictured in a West Bank village posing next to a missile - its tailfin sticking out of the ground.

On Monday, children were pictured with part of a similar munition after it landed in a nursery school playground, also in the West Bank.

Last week, a missile was pictured with its tailfin protruding from the ground in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Earlier this month, shepherd boys in eastern Syria, seemingly oblivious to the potential dangers, were pictured next to an unexploded missile that landed in an open field outside Qamishli.

The conflict has been largely fought in the air, with the US unwilling to commit ground troops to further its stated war aim of regime change in Iran, not least because US President Donald Trump has long promised not to involve America in "forever wars".

Thousands of munitions have been fired since hostilities began on 28 February, with 372 missiles and 1,806 drones launched at the UAE alone.

More than 1,500 people have been killed in Iran, more 1,000 in Lebanon, and 18 in Israel, while the US has lost 13 military personnel.

Several people have also been killed in Gulf states across the region including Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Millions of people in Lebanon and Iran have been displaced.
