Lebanon’s health ministry says that Israeli attacks have killed 850 people in the country during two weeks of war between Israel and Hezbollah.
The ministry statement says the toll includes 66 women, 107 children and 32 health workers, with 2,105 other people wounded.
The toll cannot be independently verified and doesn’t distinguish between combatants and civilians.
Hezbollah began firing at Israel on March 2 after US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Two Israeli soldiers were killed fighting in southern Lebanon a week ago.
