BEIRUT — More than 3,000 people have been killed in Lebanon during 13 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanese Health Ministry announced Monday. At least 13,492 people were injured.

Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel the day after Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which sparked the Gaza war. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are allies of Iran.

The conflict dramatically intensified on September 23 with intense Israeli airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon as well as the southern suburbs of Beirut, killing hundreds and displacing nearly 1.2 million people.

Israel launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon on October 1, causing significant destruction in border villages but making little progress on the ground inside Lebanon.

In Israel, 72 people were killed in Hezbollah attacks, including 30 soldiers.
