Lebanon war death toll rises to 570 — 86 children, 14 healthcare workers

Lebanon's health ministry announced that the death toll from the renewed fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has risen to 570 people. The ministry provided a demographic breakdown: 439 were men, 45 women, and 86 children. The toll also includes 14 healthcare workers. The ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its reporting. The 570 dead represents a significant increase from the previously reported figures and includes casualties from Day 11's strikes on Rab al-Thalathine, Tyre district, Beqaa Valley, Bint Jbeil, and Dahiyeh. The 86 children killed — 15% of total deaths — and 14 healthcare workers underscore the civilian toll in the conflict. The current round of Lebanon fighting began when Hezbollah began firing at Israel days after US-Israeli strikes started on Iran on February 28. Lebanon entered the war as a second front, and Israeli strikes have progressively expanded from southern Lebanon border areas toward Beirut's suburbs and the Beqaa Valley.
