The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced in a statement on Thursday that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on Lebanon had risen to 3,961 martyrs, with 16,520 injured, as of last Tuesday, prior to the ceasefire between Lebanon and "Israel" taking effect early Wednesday morning.

According to the detailed daily report issued by the ministry's Public Health Emergency Operations Center, Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday killed 78 people and injured 266 others.  

The report also noted an increase in the death toll due to the retrieval of victims from beneath the rubble and the commencement of data refinement processes.

The ministry clarified in its statement that it has initiated a comprehensive review of all data to include those gradually recovered from under the rubble and victims whose identities are confirmed after DNA testing.

It added that it is also coordinating with hospitals to ensure the provision of accurate and comprehensive figures.

According to the ministry, a final report presenting a full account of the human losses caused by the Israeli aggression on Lebanon will be issued once the review is complete.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation violated the ceasefire by shelling several border villages in southern Lebanon, while hostile reconnaissance aircraft hovered over the villages of Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts.

'Israel' violating ceasefire deal

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that the town of Khiam came under Israeli artillery fire on Thursday.

Lebanon's National News Agency indicated that the Israeli occupation artillery targeted the heights of the town of Halta in the Hasbaya district, directly threatening civilians in the outskirts of the area.

On Wednesday, Israeli forces fired at journalists covering the return of displaced residents to their towns and villages and the Israeli withdrawal from Khiam, wounding Associated Press reporter Mohammad Zaatari and Sputnik correspondent Abdelkader al-Bay.

Simultaneously, the Lebanese Army Command announced that its units had begun implementing tasks across the South, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s Southern Suburb.

This included setting up temporary checkpoints, clearing roads, and detonating unexploded ordnance while bolstering their presence in the area south of the Litani River as part of the ceasefire agreement.
