Another 1,024 were also wounded in the Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon.

The death toll from Israeli strikes on Lebanon has reached 356, with 1,246 others injured since Monday morning, a statement from Lebanon's health ministry said, adding that 24 children and 42 women were among the dead.

Lebanon's Iran-aligned Hezbollah also said that senior leader Ali Karak, the head of the southern front, is okay and moved to a safe place, after a security source told Reuters he was targeted in an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Lebanon.
