Lebanese health ministry says death toll from Israeli strikes up to 394

BEIRUT, Lebanon, March 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli strikes on Lebanon have 
killed 394 people in the past week, including 83 children and 42 women, the 
country's health minister said Sunday.

Rakan Nassereddine also said at a press conference that nine rescue workers 
were among the dead, condemning attacks on medical teams and ambulances.

A previous toll announced on Saturday by the minister had put the number of 
dead at 294 since Lebanon was drawn into the regional war last Monday between 
Iran, Israel and the United States.
