Lebanon says 19 people killed in Israeli attacks on Wednesday
Death toll in Lebanon reaches 2,593 as Israeli air campaign escalates
By Yusuf Alioglu
ISTANBUL (AA) - At least 19 people were killed and 118 others injured in Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Wednesday, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry
The latest fatalities brought the overall death toll in the country since last year to 2593, with 12,119 injuries, a ministry statement said Thursday.
Israel has mounted a huge air campaign in Lebanon since last month against what it claims are Hezbollah targets in an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare between Israel and the Lebanese group since the start of Israel’s brutal offensive on Gaza.
Israel expanded the conflict on Oct. 1 this year by launching a ground assault into southern Lebanon.
