Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has accused Israel of carrying out nearly 3,500 attacks in Lebanon despite a ceasefire announced by the United States. According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office posted on social media platform X after a cabinet meeting, between April 17 and June 7, Israel conducted 3,491 airstrikes, 407 planned demolition operations, and six 'raging operations'. The statement added that several villages in southern Lebanon near the border were completely destroyed.

Salam said Lebanon is trying to maintain the ceasefire, but recent Iran-Israel tensions have triggered a new wave of displacement, putting immense pressure on the country. He noted that the capacity to shelter displaced people in Beirut, Saida, and other regions is nearly exhausted, making it increasingly difficult to accommodate new arrivals.

Since the war began on March 2, more than one million people have been displaced due to Israeli attacks and forced evacuations, representing about one-fifth of Lebanon’s total population, according to the report cited from Al Jazeera.
