Israeli air strikes across Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, have killed at least 112 people and wounded more than 837, authorities said, in one of the deadliest escalations in recent months.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry confirmed the updated toll, saying the number of casualties has risen as rescue operations continue in affected areas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier stated that Lebanon would not be included in any ceasefire arrangement, signaling continued military operations despite regional efforts to halt the violence.

The widespread attacks targeted multiple locations across the country, causing heavy casualties and destruction.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) strongly condemned what it described as a “brutal massacre in Beirut,” according to a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The IRGC warned that if Israeli attacks on Lebanon do not stop immediately, it would deliver a “regretful response” against what it called aggressors in the region.
The latest escalation has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict, as tensions continue to rise following ongoing hostilities involving Israel and its regional adversaries.
