BEIRUT, March 29 (Xinhua) -- A total of 49 people were killed and 116 injured on Sunday, bringing the death toll to 1,238 and the number of wounded to 3,543 since the escalation of hostilities on March 2, Lebanon's Disaster Risk Management Unit at the prime minister's office said.
In its daily report on Sunday, the unit said the number of hostile incidents recorded so far has reached 4,401, with 663 shelters across the country housing 136,147 displaced people and 35,170 families.
It is continuing to monitor the humanitarian situation and coordinate with relevant agencies as displacement and casualty figures keep rising, the unit said.
Israeli warplanes continued airstrikes on several areas in southern Lebanon. The Israeli army issued a warning threatening to target the Dahieh area and urging residents to evacuate Beirut's southern suburbs.
Cross-border fighting has continued since March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel for the first time since a ceasefire agreed on Nov. 27, 2024, triggering intensified Israeli airstrikes across southern and eastern Lebanon. .
