ABNA24 - More than 1,400 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israeli attacks began on March 2, the country’s Health Ministry said Saturday, as the conflict continues to take a heavy toll on civilians.
In a statement, the ministry said the death toll has reached 1,422, with 4,294 others wounded over the same period.
It added that 54 people were killed and 156 injured in the past 24 hours alone.
Israel has carried out airstrikes and a ground offensive in Southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by the Lebanese group Hezbollah on March 2.
Hezbollah has fired barrages of rockets into the Israeli-occupied territories since early March, saying the attacks are in response to continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon despite the 2024 ceasefire, as well as the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28.
