BEIRUT, March 15 (Xinhua) -- At least 10 people were killed and 13 others injured on Sunday as Israel continued its attacks on areas in southern Lebanon, according to statements issued by the Lebanese Health Ministry's Emergency Operations Center.
Two people were killed and four others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on the town of Majdal Selm in the Marjayoun district, the center said.
In another strike, three people were killed and three others injured in the town of Aaitit in the Tyre district.
Moreover, an Israeli airstrike on the town of Qatrani in the Jezzine district late Saturday night left five people dead and six others wounded, according to the ministry's final toll.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee warned residents of Beirut's southern suburbs to leave certain locations. However, no Israeli strikes were reported in the area later in the day.
Meanwhile, the death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon has risen to 850 since March 2, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Sunday.
In its daily report, the ministry's Emergency Operations Center said 2,105 people were injured during the same period.
The report also noted an increase in child casualties, with the number of children killed reaching 107.
Hezbollah announced the launch of rockets from Lebanon toward Israel on March 2 for the first time since a ceasefire was declared on Nov. 27, 2024. Israel subsequently launched a military campaign against the group, involving intensive airstrikes on several areas in southern and eastern Lebanon, in addition to Beirut's southern suburbs. ■
