Israeli attacks on Lebanon kill 4,352, injure 12,318: health ministry
Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli strikes have killed 4,352 and wounded 12,318 since March 2, with two killed and eight injured in recent days.
Lebanon's health ministry reported that Israeli strikes have claimed the lives of 4,352 individuals and injured 12,318 others since March 2, with two more deaths and eight additional injuries recorded in the past two days. As of August 28, the cumulative death toll stands at 4,352, while 12,318 have sustained injuries due to Israeli aggression.
The ministry did not disclose the specifics surrounding the latest casualties. Israeli forces persist in their daily violations of Lebanese territory, engaging in shelling, incursions, and explosions. On Friday, the aggression intensified in southern Lebanon, with Israeli forces carrying out explosions in three towns and advancing toward Aita al-Jabal.
Artillery shelling hit other areas as well. Since March 2, 2026, Israel has maintained its offensive in Lebanon, occupying portions of the southern region, some for decades, and expanding its operations further into Lebanese territory during the ongoing conflict.
