Israeli airstrikes killed 303 people and injured 1,150 others across Lebanon on Wednesday, the Lebanese Health Ministry said Thursday, Anadolu reports.
In a statement, the ministry said at least 110 children, women and elderly people were among those killed in Wednesday’s deadly strikes.
Efforts are still ongoing to recover the bodies of the victims from under the rubble in several locations, the statement said.
The ministry said the fatalities have brought the overall death toll from Israeli attacks since March 2 to 1,888 people, while 6,092 others have been injured.
The Israeli army escalated airstrikes across Lebanon since Wednesday despite the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
While Pakistani mediators and Tehran said the ceasefire includes Lebanon, Washington and Tel Aviv denied that.
