Death Toll Rises to 45 from Israeli Strike on Beirut’s Southern Suburb

The death toll from Israeli air strikes that targeted Beirut’s southern suburb has increased to 45, including three children and seven women, the health ministry of Lebanon said today.

Efforts continue to remove the rubble for the third day in a row, and DNA sampling would be used to determine the identities of some of the bodies, the ministry added.

The strike, which wrecked two buildings in the Lebanese capitals Dahiya district during rush hour on Friday, also injured about 60 people.
