Almost 3,000 killed by Israeli attacks in over a year, Lebanon says
At least 71 people were killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon on Friday, authorities said Saturday, which brings the total number of fatalities to almost 3,000 since fighting broke out between Israel and the Hezbollah militia more than a year ago.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said another 169 people were injured across Lebanon on Friday.
The highest number of victims were reportedly killed in attacks in the north-east of the country, with at least 52 dead.
The Health Ministry usually does not release the total number of victims until the evening of the following day.
At least 2,968 people, including 183 minors, have been killed and 13,319 injured since fighting broke out between the Israeli military and pro-Iranian Hezbollah in Lebanon following the October 7 attacks on Israel.
The ministry’s figures do not distinguish between civilians and Hezbollah fighters.
