Overview
- Lebanon’s Health Ministry raised the war toll on Sunday to more than 2,050 dead, including scores of children and health workers, as the WHO verified 106 attacks on healthcare that have crippled ambulances and hospitals.
- The Israeli military said Saturday it struck over 200 Hezbollah sites in 24 hours, while Hezbollah reported 43 operations using drones, rockets, and guided missiles against Israeli positions from the border to northern Israel.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited southern Lebanon on Sunday and said the campaign would continue inside a declared security zone, citing goals to push back Hezbollah and reduce cross‑border fire.
- Officials from Lebanon, Israel, and the United States are due to meet Tuesday in Washington, with Israel saying it will not discuss a ceasefire with Hezbollah and Lebanon’s premier insisting he is seeking a halt to the fighting and a troop withdrawal.
- Emergency workers and civilians continue to bear the brunt of the strikes, with the Lebanese Red Cross reporting a paramedic killed by a drone, funerals held for 13 state security officers in Nabatieh, and more than 1 million people uprooted from their homes.
