Lebanon's civil defense agency says it has recovered 70 bodies — 52 from the village of Kafra and 18 from the village of Hadatha — since the ceasefire enabled access to areas previously unreachable during combat. The figure, reported Tuesday evening by Israeli Arabic-language analyst Abu Ali Express, who cites Lebanese channels, is described as preliminary and the recovery effort is ongoing. The count does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
The Lebanese civil defense agency announced Tuesday evening that it has recovered 70 bodies from the villages of Kafra and Hadatha in southern Lebanon since the ceasefire came into effect, according to Lebanese channels cited by Israeli analyst Abu Ali Express. The recovery includes 52 bodies from Kafra and 18 from Hadatha, with the operation still ongoing and the number described as preliminary.
The development comes as the ceasefire allows civil defense teams to access areas that were inaccessible during active combat. Lebanese officials have warned that the overall death toll is expected to rise significantly in the coming days as more bodies are located.
The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday that 18 bodies had been recovered since Sunday, and later that 52 bodies were found in Kafra alone — figures that have now been updated and consolidated in this latest report. The recovered bodies have not been classified by affiliation, and the IDF has not commented on the figures. The data comes from a single source channel and remains unverified by independent reporting.
