BEIRUT (Palestine Foundation Information Center) 435 people have been killed and 1,801 others injured in Lebanon due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment since the escalation with Hezbollah began on October 8 last year.
According to a report published by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, there were 435 martyrs, the majority of them male.
The report explained that 44% of the injuries were due to shockwaves, 35% were due to explosions, and 16% were due to chemical substances. It indicated that 95% of the injuries were of Lebanese nationality, without specifying the nationalities of the remaining injured.
The report also noted that the number of displaced people reached 92,228 in the same period.
The Lebanese authorities accuse the Israeli occupation army of using white phosphorus in attacks on the south of the country, which has caused damage to the environment and civilians.
White phosphorus munitions are used to create smoke screens and illuminate the battlefield, but they are an incendiary weapon that can cause severe burns to the human body when in contact with oxygen.
There are escalating warnings about the possibility of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip expanding to Lebanon and the outbreak of a regional war, amid the continued Israeli statements and threats to launch a potential war, at a time when no diplomatic movement has succeeded so far in reaching a formula or agreement between Hezbollah and Israel.
Hezbollah conditions stopping the bombardment and ending the occupation war on the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing since last October 7 and resulted in about 124,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, mostly children and women, in addition to thousands of missing persons.
