Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed at least 2,387 people since the war with Hezbollah erupted six weeks ago, AFP reports citing a new toll by the Lebanese government.

The disaster risk management unit added that 7,602 people had been wounded over the same period.

Since a 10-day ceasefire went into force on Friday, authorities and rescuers have been recovering bodies under the rubble of buildings in areas that were subjected to heavy Israeli strikes.
