Lebanon's Health Ministry: 400 people killed, including 42 women and 83

At least 394 people have been killed and 1,130 others injured in ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon since Monday, Lebanon's Health Ministry said on Sunday.

Rakan Nassereddine told a press conference that 42 women and 83 children were among those killed in the attacks, while the wounded included 274 women and 254 children.

Israel has expanded its military campaign in Lebanon since Monday, following limited rocket attacks by Hezbollah amid broader regional tensions linked to the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran.

Despite a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah since November 2024, Israel has continued almost daily violations that have left hundreds dead and injured.

Israel has killed more than 4,000 people and wounded 17,000 others during an offensive in Lebanon that began in October 2023 and escalated into a full-scale war in September 2024.
