BEIRUIT (AA) - At least 25 more people were killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Wednesday, bringing the overall death toll since October last year to 3,583, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Thursday.
In a statement, the ministry added that 121 others were also wounded, bringing the total number of injuries to 15,244 since October 2023.
Israel has launched a massive air campaign in Lebanon since late September against what it claims are Hezbollah targets, an escalation in year-long cross-border warfare with the Lebanese group since the start of a deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip. It launched a ground assault into southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.
The Israeli attacks in Lebanon have forced more than 1 million people to flee their homes.
