More than 13,402 injured in attacks since last year, Lebanese Health Ministry says
The death toll from Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon has reached 2,986 since last October, the Lebanese Health Ministry said Sunday.
A statement reported that 13,402 people have been wounded since hostilities began last October.
Israeli airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon left 18 dead Saturday and injured 83 others, according to the ministry.
Israel has escalated its air campaign in Lebanon since late September against what it claims are Hezbollah targets in an escalation from year-long cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of Israel's brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip.
Israel expanded the conflict by launching an incursion into southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.
