Lebanese Health Ministry said on Thursday that 8,956 people have been killed and 30,664 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 2023, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA.
The ministry’s figures show that 4,389 persons were killed and 12,428 injured between March 2 and October 30, 2026; Al‑Manar TV cited the ministry for these numbers.
The Lebanese government and Israeli forces signed a framework agreement last month under U.S. mediation after several rounds of direct talks in Washington, a deal that critics say has an uncertain legal basis and no clear timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
Lebanon continues to label the operation as aggression, while the framework agreement was created to end the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah.
