Lebanon's Health Ministry reported Wednesday that the Israeli military offensive against the country since March 2 has claimed 4,354 lives and wounded 12,325 others with varying degrees of injury, Shehab Wire reported. The updated toll reflects eight months of sustained operations across Lebanese territory.
The ministry's announcement comes as the assault continues without abatement. Health officials have tracked the mounting casualty figures throughout the campaign, documenting both fatalities and the growing number of wounded requiring medical treatment across Lebanese hospitals and clinics. The figures underscore the scale of civilian and combatant losses since the campaign began in early spring.
