"Israel's" aggression on Lebanon has killed more than 4,047 people, most of whom were killed since September, according to officials on Wednesday. 

A week after a truce was declared, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad informed reporters, "Until now... we have recorded 4,047 dead and 16,638 wounded."

According to Abiad, the dead included 316 children and 790 women.

The majority of the deaths happened after September 15, he stated, adding that "we believe the real number may be higher" owing to unreported deaths.

Abiad also reported 67 attacks on hospitals "including 40 hospitals that were directly targeted" during the war, killing 16 people.

"Seven of these hospitals are still closed," the minister explained.

Emergency response organizations were also targeted 238 times according to the minister, with 206 killed and 256 emergency vehicles including fire trucks targeted. 

With full impunity, 'Israel' violates ceasefire with Lebanon, again

As part of its ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, the Israeli occupation military targeted Tuesday morning the southern Lebanese town of Beit Lif with a drone strike.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in South Lebanon also reported that the Israeli occupation [military] exploited the ceasefire [with Lebanon] to infiltrate and, for the first time, reach the outskirts of the Burj al-Muluk–Khiam junction, adding that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the Khiam plain.

Our correspondent also reported that a shepherd was killed in an Israeli drone strike on the Jan'am area on the outskirts of the town of Shebaa in Hasbaya district.

This followed violations by the Israeli occupation of the ceasefire agreement in the districts of Tyre and Bint Jbeil yesterday evening, where Israeli warplanes conducted a series of attacks on several towns and villages in both districts.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri urged Monday the committee responsible for monitoring the implementation of the ceasefire agreement to immediately begin its work and compel "Israel" to halt its violations and withdraw from currently occupied Lebanese territories.

Hezbollah fires warning strike in response to Israeli violations

Earlier on Monday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out an operation in response to repeated Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect at dawn on November 27, 2024. 

Hezbollah targeted the Israeli-occupied Roueissat al-Alam site in the Kfar Chouba hills, in southern Lebanon.

The Resistance said in its statement that it conducted the operation in response to the violations, "which have included various forms of aggression, such as firing on civilians and conducting airstrikes in different areas of Lebanon—resulting in the martyrdom of civilians and injuries to others—and the continued breach of Lebanese airspace by enemy aircraft, even reaching the capital Beirut." 

Hezbollah said the operation was an "initial defensive and warning response," concluding its statement with, "You have been warned".
