Lebanese sources report dozens of people killed and wounded in waves of Israeli strikes across Lebanon overnight and into Friday morning, with strikes continuing intermittently, according to multiple Lebanese media reports. The reports follow a Lebanese Health Ministry toll of 18 killed and 33 wounded in strikes earlier today, which the ministry said was still rising. The figures are not independently verified and do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
Lebanese media reported Friday morning that dozens of people have been killed and wounded in waves of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon that continued overnight and into the morning, with strikes resuming intermittently. The reports did not provide a breakdown by location or target type, nor did they specify how many of the casualties were combatants.
This follows an official toll published by the Lebanese Health Ministry earlier today — at 09:27 Jerusalem — reporting 18 killed and 33 wounded in strikes on southern Lebanon overnight, and stating the figures were expected to rise. The ministry's count, like the newer reports, is not independently verified.
As The Zioneer reported on Friday at 09:27 — the same morning — the health ministry's figures for overnight strikes on southern Lebanon were the most detailed official count available. The newer, broader Lebanese reports of 'dozens' killed describe a wider geographic scope of strikes but remain uncorroborated by official sources. The IDF has not commented on the latest reported toll.
What remains open: the identity and affiliation of the reported casualties, the specific locations hit in the waves described as 'continuing', and whether the 'dozens' figure is cumulative or overlaps with the health ministry's 18-count.
