Buenos Aires, April 10 (NA)— The number of dead in Lebanon since Israel and Hezbollah began exchanging fire last month rose to 1,950, according to a tally from Lebanon's Ministry of Health. According to the ministry, more than 6,300 people were injured in Israeli attacks against the country, reported NBC News and learned by the Argentine News Agency. Just on Wednesday, Israel killed 357 people and injured 1,223 in attacks across Lebanon, including Beirut. “This figure remains preliminary due to ongoing efforts to clear rubble and the presence of a large number of remains, which requires time to perform DNA tests and confirm the identity of the victims before the final death toll for April 8 can be determined,” the ministry stated. Israel claimed to have killed at least 180 Hezbollah members in Wednesday's attacks on Beirut, Bekaa and southwest Lebanon. IP “Following an initial intelligence assessment… it can be determined that the IDF eliminated more than 180 militants of the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The count is still ongoing,” the Israeli army declared.
