At least 20 people have been killed in the past 24 hours as a result of Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire established on April 17. The Health Ministry said another 46 Lebanese were injured.
“The total number of civilians killed since the start of the military escalation on March 2 has reached 2,679, and 8,229 have been injured“, the ministry said in a statement.
The Health Ministry noted that the death toll could rise as Israel continues to attack villages that serve as strongholds for the Shiite organization Hezbollah.
