Beirut, MINA – The death toll from Israeli strikes on Lebanon has reached 2,011, with 9,535 wounded since October 8, 2023, according to local authorities on Friday.

In a report by the Disaster Risk Management Unit, officials said that around 153 Israeli airstrikes and shelling targeted various areas across Lebanon on Thursday alone, primarily focusing on the southern regions and Beirut’s southern suburbs. The strikes resulted in 37 deaths and 151 injuries in just one day, adding to the mounting casualties since the conflict’s escalation last month, Anadolu Agency reports.

The number of officially registered displaced persons sheltering at government centers has also increased to 172,100, spread across 931 facilities nationwide. However, when accounting for those who have sought refuge with relatives or moved independently, the total number of displaced people exceeds 1.2 million, according to previous Lebanese government data.

Israel has intensified airstrikes on what it calls Hezbollah targets across Lebanon since September 23, with the Lebanese Health Ministry reporting more than 1,100 deaths from these attacks.
