The Lebanese health ministry reports that Israeli strikes over the past several weeks have resulted in more than 1,000 deaths and approximately 6,000 injuries amid a significant escalation of hostilities.

On Monday, Israel initiated ground operations in Lebanon as special forces conducted raids within the neighboring country. Reports from The Times and various Middle Eastern sources on Wednesday indicated that the IDF endured significant casualties during an ambush by Hezbollah fighters near Odaisseh, with several fatalities reported but not yet confirmed. To date, Israel has officially verified the death of one soldier inside Lebanon.
