The wave of attacks between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has already claimed 1,530 lives and injured thousands. The conflict continues to spill over across the region.
The latest wave of attacks between Israel and the pro-Iranian militant group Hezbollah, which began more than five weeks ago, has already killed 1,530 people in Lebanon. This was announced by the Lebanese Ministry of Health on Tuesday, according to TASR, according to the AFP agency.
Among the victims are 102 women, 130 children and 57 health workers. Another 4,812 people were injured during the attacks, the ministry added. The AP reports that more than one million people have been displaced as a result of the attacks. The conflict in the Middle East began on February 28 after an Israeli-US airstrike on Iran. It spread to Lebanon on March 2, when Hezbollah began shelling northern Israel with rockets.
Tel Aviv responded with large-scale airstrikes and its troops are advancing on several cities in southern Lebanon. Israeli officials say they plan to create a security zone on Lebanese territory up to 30 kilometers from the border to protect residents of northern Israel.
