As a result of the attack by Israel on the south of Lebanon that started on Monday morning, the number of victims has reached 569 people, including 50 children. As a result of the attack, 1,835 people were injured. Lebanese Minister of Health Firas Abiad informed the "Al-Jazeera Mubasher" TV channel.
The new attack against Hezbollah has raised fears that the nearly year-old conflict in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas is escalating and could destabilize the Middle East. Great Britain has called on its citizens to leave Lebanon and has announced that it is moving 700 troops to Cyprus to help its citizens evacuate.
