Lebanon records 2,740 Israeli violations, 190 deaths since ceasefire
Information Minister Paul Morcos said Thursday that Lebanon has recorded 2,740 Israeli violations of the ceasefire.
Morcos said in a press conference following a cabinet meeting that 190 people have been killed and 485 injured in Lebanon by Israeli strikes since the ceasefire began.
On Tuesday, the office of the U.N. high commissioner for human rights said that at least 71 civilians, including 14 women and nine children, have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon since a ceasefire took effect.
Israel has said that its strikes in Lebanon are in response to ceasefire violations by Hezbollah and to prevent the group from rearming.
