The Lebanese health ministry said on Wednesday that 46 people were killed and 85 others injured by "enemy Israeli strikes" across the country over the past 24 hours.
Lebanon's disaster management agency said earlier that 1,928 people have been killed since Israel and Hezbollah began trading cross-border fire after the Gaza war erupted on October 7, 2023.
On Thursday, Israel's military said it killed 15 Hezbollah members in an air strike on southern Lebanon, as the Iran-backed movement said it thwarted an Israeli advance at the border.
Israel announced this week that its troops had started "ground raids" into parts of southern Lebanon, a stronghold of Hezbollah, after days of heavy bombardment on areas across the country where the group holds sway.
The bombing has killed over 1,000 people, according to Lebanon's health ministry, and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes in a country already mired in economic and political crisis.
Israel, at war in Gaza since Hamas's October 7 resistance campaign, says it shifted its focus to secure its northern border and ensure the safe return of more than 60,000 people displaced by Hezbollah attacks over the past year.
