The Lebanese health ministry raises the death toll of the IDF strikes in Lebanon today to 492.

Another 1,645 are wounded, the ministry says.

The IDF says it has been striking Hezbollah sites, including homes where the terror group has been storing weapons.

Regarding the high death toll reported in Lebanon, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said earlier tonight, “These numbers also refer to many terrorists we killed today who were near the weapons.” He says the IDF will provide its own figures at a later time.
