Over 6,500 wounded in Lebanon, death toll climbs amid relentless Israeli attacks

Over 6,500 wounded in Lebanon, death toll climbs amid relentless Israeli attacks Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed at least 2,055 people and wounded 6,588 others since 2 March, the country’s Health Ministry said, as Israeli bombing and raids continue. “We don’t want someone to deceive us … and distract us with negotiations,” Hussein Meslmani, sheltering in a school in Tyre, told Reuters, calling for a definitive end to the conflict. Israeli aggression has displaced 20 percent of Lebanon's population. In less than a month, 1.1 million people in Lebanon, including more than 390,000 children, have been forcibly displaced.  First responders carry a body from the rubble after an Israeli strike targeted the Lebanese village of Qana on 1 April 2026.
