Israeli Attacks on Lebanon Kill 3,666 Since March 2

The ongoing Israeli military offensive in Lebanon, which began on March 2, has resulted in a grim toll of at least 3,666 fatalities and over 11,321 injuries, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health's Emergency Operations Center. The figures were released in a statement by the National News Agency (ANN), highlighting the persistent violence despite a ceasefire agreement reached between the two nations late last month.

Cross-border exchanges have continued, including recent attacks between Israel and Iran. Iran launched projectiles against Israeli territory in response to a prior bombing in the southern suburbs of Beirut, known as Dahye. Tehran is a key ally of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, which Israel has identified as a target. Sunday's attack outside Beirut reportedly killed two people and injured around twenty.

Further escalating tensions, ANN reported on Tuesday that several Israeli attacks targeted southern Lebanon. One strike in the historic city of Tyre killed at least eight people, according to preliminary counts from the Lebanese Ministry of Health. Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli military had issued an evacuation order for various areas within Tyre, including a Christian neighborhood, citing the presence of Hezbollah combatants in the district.

In parallel, Hezbollah, an Iranian-allied Shiite movement, claimed responsibility for drone and projectile attacks against Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon. The continued hostilities underscore the fragile security situation in the region, with both sides engaging in retaliatory actions despite efforts to establish peace.
