On Sunday, a series of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon resulted in a tragic toll of at least 105 people killed and 359 injured, as reported by the country's health ministry. The impact of the strikes was particularly devastating in various regions across Lebanon.

In the South Governorate, specifically in Ain Al-Delb and Tyre, 48 individuals lost their lives, and 168 sustained injuries. The health ministry highlighted the significant damage inflicted on Kana hospital in the south due to the Israeli airstrikes.

Furthermore, the Baalbek-Hermel region in the eastern part of Lebanon's Beqaa Valley faced a heavy blow, with 33 fatalities and 97 injuries reported. The town of Marjaayoun in the southern Nabatiyeh Governorate also witnessed substantial casualties.

Israel has justified its intensified airstrikes by claiming to target Hezbollah operatives and facilities, accusing the militant group of using civilians as 'human shields.' However, the aftermath of the strikes has been severe, with residential buildings flattened and public infrastructure devastated, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian crisis in Lebanon.
