War death toll in Lebanon rises to 570, health ministry says

The renewed fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group has killed 570 people, the country’s health ministry says.

The ministry gives a demographic breakdown of those killed, reporting that 439 were men, 45 women, and 86 children. It does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.

The toll includes 14 healthcare workers, the ministry says.

The current round of conflict in Lebanon began last week, when Hezbollah began firing at Israel days after US-Israeli strikes began on Iran, the terror group’s sponsor.
