At least 105 people have been killed and 359 injured in Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, according to the country’s Health Ministry.
The highest death toll occurred in the South Governorate, where 48 people were killed and 168 injured in Ain Al-Delb and Tyre, the Ministry reported on Sunday.
The strikes follow a Friday air raid on Beirut’s southern suburbs that killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, a militant group that has been engaged in cross-border attacks with Israel for nearly a year.
Hezbollah has stated it is supporting Hamas militants in Gaza, who initiated attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, sparking the ongoing conflict in the Palestinian territory.
Since Israel shifted its focus northward, escalating cross-border fire with Lebanon, hundreds have been killed, marking the deadliest violence since Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war.
The Health Ministry said airstrikes near Sidon on Sunday, as well as in eastern Lebanon and areas around Beirut, have led to heavy casualties. The strikes also caused “severe damage” to Kana hospital in the south.
Baalbek-Hermel in the Beqaa Valley was hit hard, with 33 people killed and 97 injured, while Nabatiyeh Governorate, including Marjaayoun, also saw significant casualties.
Israel stated its intensified strikes were targeting Hezbollah operatives and facilities, accusing the group of using civilians as “human shields.” The attacks have flattened residential areas and devastated public infrastructure, worsening Lebanon's humanitarian crisis.
