The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, through its Public Health Emergency Operations Center, released its daily report on Sunday outlining the toll from ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon. The ministry reported that, as of Saturday, the total toll of the war on Lebanon has reached 3,186 martyrs and 14,078 injuries.
In recent developments, Israeli airstrikes on Saturday claimed the lives of 53 civilians and left 99 others wounded.
Intensified strikes across Southern Lebanon
The Israeli Air Force conducted multiple airstrikes across southern Lebanon, hitting various civilian targets, including in the town of al-Shahabiya, where an airstrike devastated a residential area, resulting in the loss of life and additional injuries. Another airstrike targeted a home in the town of Marwanieh, killing one individual and wounding numerous others.
Around 4:30 pm, an airstrike on a residence in the village of Jmayjmeh, in the Bint Jbeil district, killed three people.
The Israeli occupation forces also launched artillery strikes, including shelling the western outskirts of Burj al-Mulouk and areas near Deir Mimas, close to the historical al-Shaqif Castle.
Tyre under heavy bombardment
The coastal region around Tyre has been particularly hard-hit, where in Burj Rahal, the Israeli Air Force targeted the Ain al-Touti area with airstrikes, causing widespread destruction. In another strike, a home in the town of Blat was hit, while the village of Khiam was subjected to artillery bombardment.
The ministry also reported a tragic incident in Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain, where airstrikes struck a gathering point for medics. 14 people were killed in the attack, including seven emergency responders. This incident, which targeted rescue teams, has been condemned as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
In a separate aggression in the Jbeil district, an Israeli airstrike on the village of Almat killed 23 people, including seven children. Rescue teams retrieved bodies from the site, and ongoing identification efforts suggest the final death toll could rise further. Six additional people were reported wounded, some in critical condition. By yesterday evening, the toll in Alamat had risen to 24 dead and eight wounded.
