BEIRUT: Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed 380 people since a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war began on April 17, Lebanon's health ministry told AFP on Tuesday.
Ceasefire Violations and Casualties
A ministry official said that "380 people, including 22 children and 39 women, have been killed in strikes on Lebanon since the ceasefire came into effect", out of a total of around 2,900 people killed since the war erupted on March 2.
Terms of the Truce
Under the terms of the truce released by Washington, Israel reserves the right to act against "planned, imminent or ongoing attacks". In addition to carrying out ongoing airstrikes, Israeli troops have been operating behind a so-called "yellow line" that runs around 10 kilometres (six miles) north of the border between the two countries.
The continued strikes have raised concerns about the durability of the ceasefire, with international observers calling for both sides to adhere to the terms. The United Nations has urged restraint, while humanitarian agencies warn of the growing toll on civilians.
