Scores Killed in Israeli Strikes on Southern Lebanon Despite Ceasefire ‘Holding’
Scores of people, including a number of women and children, have been killed over the course of the weekend in southern Lebanon, as Israeli strikes continue to escalate across the region, and numbers from the Lebanese Health Ministry show the overall death toll of the war continuing to spiral, despite reports continuing to present the active ceasefire in Lebanon as “holding.”
The Health Ministry’s most recent numbers, released on Sunday, had at least 2,679 people killed and 8,229 wounded so far since the Israeli invasion in early March. Those numbers continue to consistently rise despite a ceasefire nominally being in place for weeks now.
The Health Ministry’s number included 20 killed on Sunday alone in multiple different strikes, and 46 others wounded. The wounded included at least four paramedics, who were wounded in an Israeli strike near a medical center in the Tyre District.
