“Israel said it launched airstrikes against hundreds of Hezbollah targets on Monday, killing 356 people and sending tens of thousands fleeing for safety in what local authorities described as Lebanon’s deadliest day in decades. The Lebanese Health Ministry said at least 492 people had been killed, including 35 children and 58 women, while more than 1,240 were wounded. One Lebanese official said it was Lebanon’s highest daily death toll from violence since the civil war that ended in 1990. Israel’s military on Monday targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon’s south, eastern Bekaa Valley and northern region near Syria in its most widespread strikes. The military then said Monday evening that it had carried out a targeted strike in Beirut, without giving specific details.” (09/23/24)
