Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos says the toll since fighting between Israel and Hezbollah renewed on March 2 includes three police, one member of the general security directorate, and 13 state security members, Al Jazeera reports.

The released death toll comes two days after an Israeli air strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon killed three members of the Lebanese army, including a brigadier general and a captain. Also killed was a member of the parliament’s security team.

A total of 3,613 Lebanese people have been killed, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
