Most of the victims were reported to have been killed in attacks in the north-east of the country. At least 52 people were killed there. The Ministry of Health usually only announces the total number of victims on the evening of the following day.

According to the figures, at least 2,968 people have been killed and 13,319 injured since the outbreak of fighting between the Israeli military and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah in Lebanon over a year ago. Among the fatalities were almost 600 women and 183 minors. The Ministry of Health does not differentiate between civilians and members of Hezbollah in its list.
