DEATH TOLL FROM ISRAELI ATTACKS ON LEBANON RISES TO 123

BEIRUT, March 6 (Bernama-Anadolu) --  At least 123 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since Monday, the Lebanese Health Ministry said late Thursday, Anadolu Ajansı (AA) reported. 

The ministry added that 683 people have been injured in the assaults.

The Israeli army has mounted a series of airstrikes since Monday on targets across the country, including in the capital, Beirut, after the Hezbollah group resumed attacks on Israel.

The escalation followed an Israeli-US offensive on Iran, which has killed more than 900 people since Saturday, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and top military officials. 

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel as well as Gulf countries, which are home to US assets.

Israel has repeatedly violated a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon signed in November 2024, carrying out near-daily strikes that have left hundreds dead and wounded.

Israel began its offensive against Lebanon in October 2023 and escalated it into a full-scale war in September 2024, killing more than 4,000 people and wounding around 17,000.
