Death toll in Lebanon now over 3,544
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Israeli aggression on Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
have killed at least 3,544 people and maimed 15,036 since October 8, 2023, the country's health ministry said on Tuesday evening.

In a statement, the ministry said that 28 were killed and 107 maimed over the past 24 hours.

Lebanon has been facing relentless Israeli attacks for more than a year, but this aggression has grown more intense and deadly since the end of last September, resulting in thousands of casualties and the displacement of more than a million people.

#1 Death toll in Lebanon now over 3,544

Personally, I'm hoping for a lot of permanently maimed - to keep the memory fresh.
