9,000 Killed in Israeli Attacks in Lebanon in 3 Years

A total of 8,925 people have been killed and another 30,595 injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since October 8, 2023.

The figures were provided by Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. According to the ministry, 4,358 people have been killed and 12,359 injured since March, when the conflict intensified.

Lebanese citizens account for 94 percent of the casualties. The rest include Syrians, Palestinians and citizens of other countries. Men account for 86 percent of those killed and injured, while nearly one-fourth are under the age of 18.

Israel’s attacks have also caused extensive damage to Lebanon’s healthcare sector. There have been 180 attacks on ambulance workers, killing 135 healthcare workers and injuring another 416.

The attacks have damaged 40 healthcare centres and 184 ambulances, as well as 17 hospitals. Three of those hospitals have been completely shut down.

According to the Ministry of Public Health, southern Lebanon and the Nabatieh region have suffered the most from Israeli military attacks. However, casualties have been reported in almost all provinces of the country.

Israel says it is carrying out attacks in Lebanon against Hezbollah, an Iran-backed armed group. However, the attacks have resulted in widespread civilian casualties.

After the United States and Israel began their war on Iranian territory in March, Israel also intensified its attacks on Lebanon.
