Yesterday, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that 3,020 people had been killed and 9,273 others wounded in the extensive Israeli aggression against the country since March 2nd.
The Israeli occupation continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, signed on April 17th, by persistently bombing Lebanese villages particularly in the south and attempting to impose a new security reality through its incursions, which are being confronted by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon.
This Israeli escalation comes despite direct negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli authorities taking place in Washington.
