BEIRUT (AA) - The death toll from Israel’s ongoing airstrikes on Lebanon since last year has reached 2,710, the Health Ministry said on Monday.
A ministry statement said around 12,592 people have also been injured since hostilities began last October.
Israeli airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Sunday left 38 people dead and injured 124 others, the ministry said.
Israel has mounted a huge air campaign in Lebanon since late last month against what it claims are Hezbollah targets, in an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare since the start of Gaza war. It also launched a ground invasion of Lebanon on Oct. 1.
