Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli attacks have killed 4,230 people and wounded 12,179 others between March 2 and June 25, Al Jazeera reports.

Israel continues to occupy areas in southern Lebanon — some held for decades and others seized during the 2023-2024 war. During its latest invasion, Israeli forces advanced more than 10 kilometres into Lebanese territory.

A recently signed memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran calls for ending hostilities across multiple fronts, including Lebanon, as part of efforts to reach a lasting peace agreement between the two sides.
