Deadly Israeli Attacks Leave Scores Killed, Hundreds Wounded in Lebanon
(MENAFN) At least 89 people were killed and 722 others injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon on Wednesday, according to the country’s health minister, who noted that the figures are preliminary.
The Israeli military said it struck over 100 sites “within 10 minutes” across Beirut, the Beqaa Valley, and southern Lebanon, describing it as the largest coordinated wave of attacks since the start of the current offensive.
“We are facing a dangerous escalation that happened in Lebanon, an Israeli aggression with more than 100 airstrikes that targeted innocent civilians in Beirut, Dahiyeh, Bekaa, Mount Lebanon and the south,” Health Minister Rakan Nassereddine said.
He added that hospitals, ambulances, and emergency aid centers were also targeted.
Nassereddine called for urgent international humanitarian assistance for Lebanon’s health system, noting that authorities are in contact with international organizations to secure medical supplies, surgical equipment, and medicines.
Reports also indicated that Israeli airstrikes in Nabatieh Governorate in southern Lebanon killed 19 people, wounded 71 others, and destroyed dozens of buildings, though it was not immediately clear if these casualties were included in the minister’s overall toll.
