The number of victims from the ongoing Israeli onslaught on Lebanon has risen to more than 51, with 223 injured, the country's Minister of Health Firass Abiad said on Wednesday. These figures are preliminary, with the number expected to increase as the Israeli occupation continues its attacks.

Since the aggression on Lebanon began on October 8, the overall death toll has reached 1,247, with 5,278 injured, many of whom are civilians, including women and children. More than half of these casualties have occurred within the past three days as the occupation intensifies its operations.

Israeli airstrikes have primarily targeted southern and eastern Lebanon, with a series of raids conducted on towns such as Kawthariyet al-Siyyad, Toul, Kfarsir, and Kfarhatta, where a house was destroyed.

This map shows some of the villages and towns attacked by "Israel" over the past 24 hours, as part of its ongoing aggression on Lebanon.

It is noteworthy that many of the marked locations have been attacked at numerous times in a single day.

These attacks follow earlier bombardments of villages across southern Lebanon, including Adaisseh, al-Hosh, Burj al-Shamali, Majdal Zoun, Kfar Kila, Kfara, Yater, Eastern Zawtar, Adloun, Mays al-Jabal, Aita Al-Shaab, Kfar Shouba, Haddatha, and Haris. Other areas impacted include Ras al-Usta in Byblos, Hermel in the east, and Douris near Baalbek, with two people injured in Ras al-Usta.

More airstrikes hit Harouf, al-Nasiriya neighborhood, al-Mansouri, al-Haneya, al-Masaken neighborhood, al-Abbasiya, Burj Rahhal, the outskirts of Mahrouna, the area surrounding the Lebanese-Italian Hospital near the southern entrance to the city of Tyre, Houmine al-Fawqa, al-Marwaniyah, the outskirts of the town of al-Bissariyah, and the intersection of the town of Maarakeh.

Crisis management

As the attacks continue, many Lebanese are fleeing in search of safety. Health Minister Firass Abiad announced that a hotline (1787) has been established to address concerns and assist displaced individuals from 8 am to 8 pm daily.

Teams from the Ministry of Public Health are visiting shelters to assess the health needs of displaced persons and to conduct epidemiological monitoring, especially after concerns of disease outbreaks like polio resurfacing in Gaza.

Medical services for displaced persons include "medications for chronic and acute illnesses, transferring patients who require dialysis to specialized centers, and transferring cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy to day treatment departments in hospitals. It is also tasked with providing cancer patients with the medications they used to receive from pharmacies by contacting the hotline 1787 or the dedicated number 1214 for cancer patients only, as well as following up on pregnant women," al-Abyad said.

Environment Minister Nasser Yassin, who also coordinates the government's emergency response plan, reported that 30% of displaced residents are currently housed in shelters.

He estimated the total number of displaced persons from southern and eastern Lebanon to exceed 150,000. He further highlighted the challenges in providing basic supplies such as mattresses and blankets due to shortages and price gouging, with the Ministry of Economy working to address these issues.

Despite the Israeli occupation's continued attempts to pressure Hezbollah, the Resistance remains active, expanding its operations into northern occupied Palestine and claiming precise strikes on Israeli positions.

Resistance undeterred by 'Israel'

Hassan Fadlallah, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc, emphasized that the Israeli occupation cannot control the outcome or duration of this war. He dismissed Israeli claims of significant damage to Hezbollah’s infrastructure, affirming that their missiles continue to hit their targets accurately in defense of Lebanon.

Fadlallah concluded by stating that "the Resistance is fighting this war with courage and wisdom," warning that the occupation "cannot impose new realities through its aggression."
