Beirut, Lebanon - Recent

The death toll in Lebanon from the ongoing Israeli attacks has risen to 2,141 since October 2023, with 10,099 others injured, according to a report released by Lebanese Environment Minister Nasser Yassin on Wednesday, who is also Coordinator of the Government Emergency Committee.

Lebanon has suffered 9,470 Israeli attacks since the outbreak of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict on October 8, 2023, according to the report.

The Lebanese government has established 1,000 shelters to accommodate the displaced, with 807 of them being full. Currently, some 180,000 displaced individuals are residing in official shelters.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Wednesday that they continued ground military operations in southern Lebanon. Lebanon's Hezbollah also said to have counterattacked the Israeli army in southern Lebanon and launched rockets into northern Israel on the same day.

The Israeli army reported that they continued striking Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, killing a large number of Hezbollah armed personnel and destroying over 500 Hezbollah armed facilities, including gathering places, underground infrastructures, and weapons depots. The Israeli army also carried out airstrikes on 185 Hezbollah strongholds within Lebanon in the past day.

According to Al Jazeera, Israeli Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi declared on Wednesday that the Israeli army would relentlessly strike Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, denying them any respite or chance to recover.

Hezbollah said on Wednesday that their forces launched multiple attacks on the advancing Israeli army in southern Lebanon, causing casualties and forcing the Israeli army to retreat in the southwestern region. Hezbollah also fired rockets at the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona.

The Israeli army confirmed monitoring around 20 rockets fired from Lebanon towards Shemona on Wednesday. The Israeli emergency organization reported two deaths in the attack. The Israeli army subsequently targeted and destroyed the equipment used by Hezbollah to launch rockets at Shemona.

Since Sept. 23, the Israeli military has been carrying out an extensive air campaign in Lebanon, dubbed "Arrows of the North," in a dangerous escalation with Hezbollah.
Since October last year, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have been exchanging fire along the Lebanese-Israeli border, stoking fears of a wider conflict as the war between Hamas and Israel continues in Gaza.
