The number of fatalities in Lebanon resulting from Israeli offensive actions since March has now reached 4,106, with 12,153 individuals reported injured. These grim statistics were updated by the Center for Health Emergency Operations, part of the Public Health Ministry, reflecting the cumulative toll as of Sunday afternoon.
In the last 24 hours alone, the figures indicate a tragic increase of 49 deaths and 32 injuries attributed to Israeli attacks. While the past Friday and Saturday were particularly deadly, no attacks were reported in Lebanon on Sunday. This relative calm follows the implementation of a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which took effect on Friday afternoon.
The situation in Lebanon is a significant point of discussion in the ongoing peace negotiations between the United States and Iran, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar. These talks, which began on Sunday, were initially scheduled for Friday but were postponed due to Iran's stance on the Israeli attacks against southern Lebanon.
U.S. President Donald Trump has directly called on Iran to immediately cease its involvement through its "hired agents in Lebanon" from causing further trouble. Trump warned that failure to comply would result in the resumption of U.S. military strikes. The ceasefire, though currently holding, exists within a tense diplomatic framework and amidst continued high casualties.
Iran must immediately prevent its hired agents in Lebanon from causing trouble, or U.S. forces will resume attacks.
