More than 1,460 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israeli attacks began on March 2, the country’s Health Ministry said Sunday, Anadolu reports.
In a statement, the ministry said the death toll has reached 1,461, with 4,430 others wounded over the same period.
It added that 39 people were killed and 136 injured in the past 24 hours alone.
The ministry also mentioned that 129 of those who lost their lives were children and 97 were women.
At least 54 health care workers were killed, and 145 others were injured in Israeli attacks, added the ministry.
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, despite a ceasefire that took effect in November 2024.
Hezbollah has fired barrages of rockets into Israel since early March, saying the attacks are in response to continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon, as well as the killing of Iran’s then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on Feb. 28.
