2,083 PEOPLE KILLED IN ATTACKS

The Israeli army, which has been engaged in controlled clashes with Hezbollah since October 8, 2023, launched hundreds of airstrikes on September 23 against southern Lebanese cities as well as the Bekaa and Baalbek regions.

According to data from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, a total of 2,083 people have been killed since October 8, 2023, including 104 children and 194 women.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in airstrikes carried out by the Israeli army on Beirut on September 27.

Hezbollah, in turn, is responding to Israel with rockets and missiles. No major damage has been reported in these attacks, which mostly target army bases on the Israeli side.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced within the country due to Israeli bombardment.

While the wave of migration from the southern parts of the country toward the capital Beirut and the north continues, it is reported that tens of thousands of people have migrated to Syria.
