At least 33 people were killed and 195 injured Saturday in Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, the Lebanese state-run Health Ministry said in a statement, Anadolu reports.

Israeli warplanes continued airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, targeting Chyah, Borj al-Barajneh and parts of the Lylaki, as well as several towns in the south.

Since the onset of clashes between Israel and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, last October, there have been 1,640 fatalities, including 104 children and 194 women, and 8,408 injuries, Health Minister Firas Alabiad said at a news conference earlier in the day.

Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the start of Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which has killed nearly 41,600 victims.

The recent extensive airstrikes by Israel also killed, Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese group’s leader.
