Lebanon’s health ministry says that Israeli strikes have killed 826 people, including 65 women and 106 children, since the start of the war with Hezbollah, adding that 2,009 others were wounded, AFP reports.

A ministry statement says 31 paramedics are among the dead, raising an earlier toll after the bodies of additional health workers were found following an overnight strike, which authorities said hit a healthcare centre in the country’s south.
