More than 1,200 people have been killed in Lebanon over the past four weeks as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks, according to a statement from Lebanon’s health ministry cited by Al Jazeera. The ministry also reported that more than 3,500 people have been injured, including 124 children. Attacks last Saturday and Sunday alone left 49 people dead, among them 10 rescue workers and three journalists.

Lebanon’s government earlier described the Israeli strikes as extremely dangerous, saying they posed a direct threat to the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and citizens’ rights. The government had also announced plans to file a formal complaint with the United Nations Security Council once the death toll surpassed one thousand.

The continued escalation underscores rising tensions in the region, with Lebanon seeking international attention to address the humanitarian and security crisis caused by the attacks.
