Lebanon says 850 killed in Israeli attacks since March 2

ISTANBUL

At least 850 people have been killed, including 107 children, in relentless Israeli attacks across Lebanon since March 2, the Lebanese Health Minsitry said Sunday.

A ministry statement cited by the state news agency NNA added that 2,105 people have also been injured in the assaults.

The Israeli army expanded airstrikes across Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, on March 2 following a cross-border attack by Hezbollah amid regional escalation in the wake of a joint offensive by Washington and Tel Aviv against Iran.

On March 3, Israel launched a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon.

The escalation comes despite a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon since November 2024.
