Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed nearly 2,300 people since March 2, AFP reports citing Lebanon’s health ministry, on the first day of the ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
In a statement, the ministry says that at least 2,294 have been killed, in a preliminary toll that includes 274 women, 177 children and 100 health workers and rescuers.
“The final toll of the aggression will be made after the rubble has been cleared, the martyrs have been recovered, DNA tests have been completed, and the identities of their owners have been determined,” the ministry adds.
