The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that 100 Lebanese citizens were killed and more than 400 others were injured as a result of the intensive raids launched by the Israeli occupation army on large areas of Lebanon.

It explained that among the martyrs and wounded were children, women and paramedics.

The occupation's bombing also destroyed a number of homes and facilities, and burned a number of vehicles.

The occupation air force launched raids targeting the towns of Al-Kharayeb, Al-Sarfand, Deir Kifa, Breiqa, Al-Qasiba, Al-Saksakieh, Rumin, Bint Jbeil, Arabsalim, Tebnin, Tayr Dibba, Toul, Al-Khiam, Meifdoun, Al-Mashouq, Deir Siryan, Srifa, Mleeta, Maaroub, Ain Baal, Arzoun, and the towns of Al-Kawthariyah, Al-Sharqiyah, Al-Duwair, Zefta, Al-Numairiyeh, Kharouf in southern Lebanon and Sahmar and Ain Al-Tineh in western Bekaa.

In a related context, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati pointed out that what the UN Secretary-General announced regarding his fears of turning southern Lebanon into a second Gaza and that it is a war that must end, is the position that should be an incentive for everyone, especially the decision-making countries, to pressure Israel to stop its aggression and implement international resolution No. 2735 issued by the Security Council, and to resolve the Palestinian issue on the basis of adopting the two-state solution and a just and comprehensive peace.

He stressed that the continued Israeli aggression on Lebanon is a war of extermination in every sense of the word, and a destructive plan aimed at destroying Lebanese villages and towns and eliminating all green spaces.

He concluded: "In all the contacts we make, we call on the United Nations, the Security Council, and the influential countries to stand with the right and deter aggression. We renew our commitment to Resolution 1701 in full, and we work as a government to stop the new Israeli war, and avoid as much as possible falling into the unknown."
