Lebanon’s health ministry updates death toll from Israeli attacks

At least 1,473 people have died in Lebanon since mid-September, when the Israeli army dramatically escalated its attacks, according to the latest figures from the Lebanese Health Ministry, Al Jazeera reports.

As of October 8, 2023, at least 2,083 people have been killed, including 127 children and 261 women, and 9,869 have been wounded since Israel and Hezbollah began exchanging fire across the border one year ago today.

The health ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count of those killed.
