BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli strikes today killed 182 people and wounded 890, adding that the updated toll was not final.
The ministry reports that 1,739 people have been killed and 5,873 wounded in Lebanon since the start of the Israel-Hezbollah war on March 2.
The toll doesn’t distinguish between combatants and civilians.
