Lebanese authorities say Israeli strikes have killed 2,020 people since the war began last month when Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked northern Israel.

The new toll from the Lebanese health ministry includes 248 women, 165 children and 85 medical and emergency personnel killed, along with 6,436 people wounded since Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war on March 2, but doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.
