100 days of Israel's war on Lebanon: more than 14,000 killed and wounded amid widespread destruction

Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon entered its 100th day on June 9, 2026, with the death toll exceeding 3,666 and injuries surpassing 11,321, according to Lebanese Ministry of Health data. Among the victims are 247 children, 56 elderly individuals, 516 Syrians, 219 Palestinians, and 153 people of other nationalities. Since the ceasefire was declared on April 16-17, over 1,300 deaths and 3,700 injuries have been recorded, with Israeli airstrikes continuing daily despite diplomatic efforts. The war has devastated Lebanon’s infrastructure, including 17 hospitals, three of which were closed, and 170 ambulances damaged. Healthcare workers suffered heavily, with 131 killed and 392 wounded. Military personnel were also targeted, including 29 Lebanese Army members and four journalists, such as Amal Khalil, who died after being left bleeding for hours by Israeli forces. Journalists like Ahmed Hariri and Mohammed Sherri were killed while working or at home. Over one million people have been displaced, primarily from southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces control 68 villages. Beirut’s southern suburbs resemble a ghost town, with residents unable to return due to ongoing attacks. Despite the ceasefire, Israel has conducted over 3,400 aerial violations and intensified ground incursions, targeting border villages and major cities of economic and cultural significance. Negotiations for a comprehensive truce have stalled, with four rounds completed under fire since November 27, 2024. Lebanon’s officials have attempted to distance the conflict from the Iran-US tensions, though regional developments remain a critical factor. The humanitarian crisis deepens as destruction and displacement continue unabated.
