00:00Today, the Israeli enemy carried out hundreds of raids on various areas in Lebanon, especially

00:16in the south.

00:17The people who were in the hospitals were civilians, including a large number of women

00:26and children.

00:27The Israeli army also targeted ambulances, medical centers, and helicopters, as well

00:37as some of the displaced people's caravans that were moving from areas to safer areas.

00:46Unfortunately, the situation is still developing, and now there are raids in the Beqaah area,

00:55as well as other areas in the south.

00:57The current number of casualties in the General Health Ministry is 274, including 21 children

01:09and 39 women.

01:10These are the people we have identified so far.

01:13There are also some casualties that have not yet been identified.

01:19The current number of casualties in the hospitals is 1,024, and 27 hospitals participated in

01:31the reception of these casualties.

01:34In terms of ambulances, two of the ambulances fell, and 16 were injured.

01:41The numbers that we are seeing in these attacks are unprecedented numbers.

01:47I want to remind you that during the 2006 war, around 10,000 or 11,000 people were injured.

01:59In less than a week, the number of casualties has increased to 5,000.

02:06This shows the brutality and aggression of the Zionist enemy.

02:14We can say that all those who fell today are civilians.

02:17Anyone who goes and sees the targets that were hit, it is clear that these are civilian targets.

02:22That is why the meeting that took place today in Saray, where the Prime Minister spoke,

02:28and the minister in charge of the emergency management, Minister Yassin,

02:33it was clear that the international community is also responsible for what is happening in Lebanon.
