Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 35 people were killed and more than 150 injured in Israeli attacks over a 24-hour period, as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continues to escalate. The latest casualties bring the overall death toll in Lebanon to over 2,000 since early March, according to officials.
The strikes are part of an ongoing conflict that has intensified in recent days, with repeated Israeli air raids targeting areas across southern Lebanon and Beirut. Israeli officials say the operations are aimed at Hezbollah infrastructure, while Lebanese authorities report widespread civilian casualties and damage to residential areas.
The violence follows one of the deadliest weeks in the conflict, including large-scale airstrikes that killed hundreds earlier in April. Humanitarian concerns continue to grow as medical services struggle to cope with the rising number of casualties and displacement. International calls for de-escalation have increased, but hostilities remain ongoing, with no immediate ceasefire in sight.
