Recently, Israel has intensified its airstrikes on the northeastern city of Baalbek and nearby villages, as well as different parts of southern Lebanon. International mediators are ramping up efforts to halt the Israeli wars in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, circulating new proposals to wind down the regional conflict.
Lebanon’s Heath Ministry said more than 2,800 people have been killed and 13,000 wounded since Oct. 8, 2023, when cross-border rocket fire began between Israel and Hezbollah.
In the Gaza Strip, the death toll from more than a year of the Israeli war on the territory has passed 43,000, Palestinian officials reported this week, noting many of them are women and children. The UN rights office confirms most of the dead are women and children.
