(MENAFN) The number of Lebanese army fatalities has increased to 30 after a soldier died from injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike months earlier, according to reports.

A military statement confirmed that Mohammed Suleiman Al-Ahmad succumbed to wounds he received during a strike in the Qaqaait al-Jisr area of Lebanon’s Nabatieh district on March 17.

Officials said his death brings the total number of Lebanese soldiers killed since March to 30, based on updated military figures.

The announcement came alongside broader casualty updates, with Lebanon reporting a continued rise in deaths and injuries linked to ongoing Israeli strikes in the country.

According to figures released on Wednesday, the overall death toll from Israeli attacks since early March has reached 3,696, with 11,413 people injured.

Reports also indicate that strikes have continued almost daily despite a fragile ceasefire that began in April and was later extended, though hostilities on the ground have persisted amid continued tensions.
