The Lebanese Ministry of Health says that 8,956 people have been killed and 30,664 injured since October 2023, amid continued Israeli military aggression. The ministry reported that 4,389 people were killed and 12,428 injured between March 2 and October 30, 2026, Al-Manar TV reported on Friday evening, citing the ministry.
Israel launched a large-scale attack against Lebanon on March 2, displacing more than a million people. Regime forces continue to occupy areas in southern Lebanon.
The government of Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement last month mediated by the US, after several rounds of direct negotiations in Washington. The agreement was intended to end the war between the regime and Hezbollah.
The deal drew criticism for the uncertainty surrounding its legal status and the lack of a clear timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
