The death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon has risen to 1,094 since the start of Israel’s expanded offensive on March 2, the Health Ministry said Wednesday.
In a statement carried by Lebanon’s state National News Agency, the ministry said the total number of those injured during the same period reached 3,119.
The ministry added that 121 children and 81 women are among the people killed.
Over the past 24 hours, the ministry said, some 22 people were killed and 153 others injured across Lebanon.
The Israeli army has pounded Lebanon with airstrikes and launched a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2.
The current escalation followed the Feb. 28 start of a joint US-Israeli offensive on Iran, which has since killed over 1,340 people. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with US military assets in Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries.
