The Israeli military claims it has struck more than 3,500 targets across Lebanon in the month since fighting with Hezbollah began, AFP reports.

The military claimed it had killed approximately 1,000 militants in Lebanon over the past month, with strikes targeting what it described as “terrorist infrastructure, weapons storage facilities, launch positions, and command and control headquarters” belonging to Hezbollah.

Lebanon’s health ministry said yesterday that 1,345 people had been killed and 4,040 wounded since the start of the war, including 1,129 men, 91 women and 125 children. The ministry said the toll also included 53 healthcare workers.
