Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Kill Over 2,000 People
The ministry said the figures represent cumulative casualties spanning multiple regions, recorded amid relentless Israeli airstrikes and sustained cross-border exchanges across the country.
The current escalation traces back to March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets from southern Lebanon toward Israel — its first such action since a ceasefire took hold on November 27, 2024. Israel responded by dramatically widening its military campaign, with strikes rippling far beyond the southern border zone into other parts of the country.
A ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States was reached on Wednesday, briefly raising hopes of a broader regional de-escalation. However, Israel swiftly moved to carve out its position, asserting that the truce does not extend to its operations in Lebanon — a claim both Iran and mediator Pakistan flatly rejected, setting the stage for a fresh diplomatic confrontation over the scope and enforceability of the agreement.
With the death toll climbing and the ceasefire's reach still contested, the path toward stabilizing Lebanon remains deeply uncertain.
