Over the past 24 hours, Israeli strikes killed 54 people and wounded 156, the Lebanese Health Ministry said Saturday.
The ministry said the overall death toll includes 126 children and 93 women, since Israel launched intense airstrikes across Lebanon after the Hezbollah group fired rockets toward northern Israel in solidarity with Iran on March 2.
The strikes have also wounded 4,294 others.
Among those killed are 54 health workers, while Israeli strikes have targeted 87 emergency medical service facilities, the ministry said.
On Saturday, a wave of Israeli strikes hit multiple areas across southern Lebanon, one of them killed two children and wounded 22 others, according to the health ministry.
