Overview
- Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Saturday that at least 2,020 people have been killed and 6,436 wounded since March 2, with new strikes reported across the south near Sidon and in the Nabatieh district.
- Following Wednesday’s 10-minute wave of roughly 100 synchronized airstrikes across Beirut and other areas, officials reported more than 300 dead and over 1,000 injured in one of the war’s deadliest bursts.
- The cross-border fight continued over the weekend as the Israeli military said it hit more than 200 Hezbollah sites in 24 hours, while Israeli services reported about 40 launches toward northern Israel.
- Health and rescue services have been repeatedly hit, with the World Health Organization verifying 106 attacks in Lebanon and officials reporting medics among those killed in recent strikes in Nabatieh.
- Diplomacy is split, with US–Iran talks in Islamabad ending without a Lebanon ceasefire and US-sponsored Israel–Lebanon negotiations set to begin at the ambassador level in Washington despite ongoing violence.
