At least 274 killed, 1024 wounded in Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon

The Israeli regime’s warplanes have conducted extensive airstrikes against towns and villages across Lebanon, killing at least 274 people.

Lebanon’s health minister Firass Abiad announced the death toll on Monday, saying martyrs included 21 children, 39 women and two medics.

The health minister said at least 1024 others had also been wounded in the attacks that targeted the areas earlier in the day.

The casualties included “children, women, and emergency workers,” according to the health ministry added.

Abiad said that the health ministry is working to ensure those injured in Israeli strikes are getting the health care they need.

The health minister said he had asked hospitals to stop taking regular, light cases to make space for the wounded from the south.
