In the south, the Israeli aggression extended to the towns of Hadatha, Yatar, Ayta al-Jabal, the outskirts of Aaqbiyeh, Teir Dibba, Shaqra, Babliyeh, Mansouri, Habboush, Maarakeh, Ain Qana, Aba, the outskirts of Abbasiyeh, and Tura.

More than 550 martyrs in just two days of Israeli aggression

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon, which began Monday morning, rose to 558, with an additional 1,835 wounded, according to a statement by Firass al-Abiad, the Minister of Health in Lebanon's caretaker government, during a press conference held on Tuesday.

Al-Abiad revealed that there were martyrs and wounded among the ambulance crews and health authorities.
