Lebanon Death Toll Reaches 3,000 in Fighting Between Israel and Hezbollah

Israeli forces hit more than 30 Hizbullah sites in 24 hours as the US-backed ceasefire extension began and Lebanon’s death toll reached 2,988.

  • On Monday, Israel carried out air strikes in southern Lebanon while Hezbollah launched new attacks, continuing the war despite the 45-day ceasefire extension that began Friday.
  • Following a third round of US-hosted talks between Lebanon and Israel, the ceasefire extension attempts to dampen hostilities that have rumbled on since April 16.
  • Lebanon's health ministry reported the death toll surpassed 3,000 on Monday, while an Israeli strike near Baalbek killed Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander Wael Mahmoud Abd al-Halim after taking steps to "mitigate the risk of harm to civilians."
  • The Israeli military struck more than 30 Hezbollah sites in the previous 24 hours on Monday and warned residents of three southern villages to leave their homes.
  • While Israel maintains a self-declared security zone in the south to shield northern territories, Hezbollah remains outside the US-led talks and continues to resist disarmament pressure.
