Beirut: More than 1,460 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israeli attacks began on March 2, the country's Health Ministry reported Sunday. The ministry stated that the death toll has reached 1,461, with 4,430 others wounded over the same period.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Health Ministry revealed that 39 people were killed and 136 injured in the past 24 hours alone. The ministry highlighted that 129 of those who lost their lives were children, and 97 were women. Additionally, at least 54 healthcare workers were killed, and 145 others were injured in the Israeli attacks.

Israel has been conducting airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon since a cross-border attack by the Lebanese group Hezbollah on March 2, despite a ceasefire that took effect in November 2024. Hezbollah has responded with rocket barrages into Israel, citing the ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon and the killing of Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28 as reasons for their actions.
