At least 3,433 people have been killed and 10,395 have been wounded in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2, the Lebanese Health Ministry said in an update today.
Of that total, at least 21 were killed in the past 24 hours, according to the health ministry.
GAZA, May 31, 2026 (WAFA) – The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has risen to 72,939 Palestinians killed and 172,927 injured since October 2023, medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday.
Lebanon‘s Health Ministry says the death toll from Israel‘s military campaign has climbed to 3,412, with 10,269 people wounded between March 2 and May 31.
The latest figures came as Israeli attacks continued to hit civilian infrastructure across southern Lebanon. Earlier, a strike near Hiram Hospital in the city of Tyre injured 13 members of the hospital staff, according to Lebanon‘s National News Agency, citing the Health Ministry.
The ministry said the attack caused “serious damage” to the hospital, which had already suffered damage in previous Israeli strikes.
Lebanon‘s Health Ministry says Israeli attacks killed 16 people and wounded 34 others over the past 24 hours, adding to the mounting toll from the conflict.
The ministry said the number of people killed in Lebanon since hostilities escalated on March 2 has now reached 3,371, while the total number of wounded has risen to 10,129.
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 72,938, with 172,919 people wounded since 7 October 2023, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The ministry added that Israeli strikes have killed 929 Palestinians and wounded 2,811 others since a nominal ceasefire took effect on 11 October.
The Lebanese death toll from Israeli strikes has risen to 3,324 since March 2, Lebanon‘s Ministry of Public Health said on Thursday, as Israeli strikes intensified across southern Lebanon.
Another 10,027 people have been wounded since March 2, according to the ministry.
That vessel, the amphibious landing ship INS Nahshon, was built by Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding in Louisiana and was fully financed by the US government. GSF activists first became aware of what they now call the “torture boat” when it was used to detain members of the previous Gaza-bound flotilla, dozens of whom required medical attention for broken ribs, noses, and other injuries inflicted by Israeli forces.
This time, according to GSF, “detained humanitarians, doctors, and journalists were processed one by one through a darkened shipping container. Inside, groups of three to five soldiers systematically brutalized each person who came through the door while those waiting outside listened to the screams.”
Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon killed at least 31 people and wounded 40 others on Tuesday, as Israeli forces intensified strikes and issued dozens of displacement orders for towns and villages in the country’s south and east.
Panic spread across southern Lebanon as residents fled the escalating assault, with Israeli ground forces reportedly pushing deeper into Lebanese territory amid fears of a wider offensive.

BEIRUT, May 25, 2026 (WAFA) – The Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced on Monday that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on Lebanon between March 2 and May 25 has reached 3,185, in addition to 9,633 injured.
May 24, 2026 INTERNATIONAL – As civilian participants from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) begin landing in their respective home countries and some continue their recovery in Istanbul, the full, devastating scale of the violence executed by the israeli Occupation Forces (iOF) is being laid bare. Following the most recent unlawful interception of the flotilla in international waters on 18 May, newly emerging and harrowing testimonies confirm a coordinated campaign of systematic torture, severe physical and psychological trauma, and targeted gender-based and sexual violence.
(The violence reported in this release covers only the second of two illegal israeli interceptions that took place during the Spring 2026 flotilla mission; the first attack took place on 29 April off the coast of Crete, which also had numerous reports of sexual violence, rape and physical injuries including 35 people requiring medical care for broken noses, ribs and injuries from rubber bullets deployed by it iOF.)

In what is believed to be the US-built-and-funded INS Nahshon, detainees were “processed” one by one, and taken into darkened containers where groups of iOF commandos brutalised them one by one. Yassine Benjelloun, who had sailed on a previous flotilla mission and expected comparable treatment, described the moment of entry:
„He throws me in a container that is dark, and all of a sudden, I hear, “Welcome to israel. ” And I start getting hit, like first hit on the head, second hit in the ribs, then I fall, then they kick me. And I‘m hearing people screaming, and all of a sudden people stop screaming, and I don‘t see anything, and I don‘t know what‘s going to happen. “ — Yassine Benjelloun
Adrien Berthel, France, described being singled out for targeted humiliation and beating after iOF soldiers noticed he was wearing nail polish and made assumptions about his sexuality.
Veronica Otero, participant number 22 to board, witnessed the processing of nearly all 180 detainees across three days:
„I can say that all were in many ways abused, not one single person walking with nothing. Among them there were 36 fractures, many broken ribs, torso, shoulders, and back. People were in agony. People were not breathing [due to the broken ribs]. „— Veronica Otero
At least 12 sexual assaults have been documented on that vessel alone, including anal rape and forcible penetration by a handgun. iOF soldiers tased volunteers in the face, neck and body, the strikes multiplying with each new group brought in. Multiple volunteers report being photographed during strip searches and guards laughing throughout.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said on Sunday the death toll from Israeli attacks in Lebanon has risen to 3,151, with 9,571 people wounded since the latest escalation began on March 2.
According to figures published on Sunday, 28 people were killed and 65 injured over the previous 24 hours. The ministry also said 123 healthcare workers have been killed and 301 wounded in 151 attacks targeting ambulance crews and medical personnel.
Lebanon‘s Public Health Emergency Operations Center announced that the death toll from Israeli attacks on the country since March 2 has risen to 3,111 killed and 9,432 wounded as of May 22.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked outrage after confronting detained flotilla activists at Ashdod Port following Israel’s interception of Gaza-bound vessels. Viral footage showed heated exchanges between Ben-Gvir and pro-Palestine protesters, triggering political backlash and fresh diplomatic tensions.
International outcry was sparked after video showed Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir taunting flotilla activists at the Port of Ashdod who were detained in international waters after attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Since the war began on March 2, more than 3,000 people have been killed in Lebanon, the country‘s health ministry reported in its latest casualty toll on Monday.
Reignited by the US-Israeli war on Iran, hostilities between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel have rumbled on since US President Donald Trump first announced a ceasefire on April 16, with fighting mostly contained to southern Lebanon.
Israeli attacks across Lebanon have killed at least 3,020 people since early March, according to the latest figures released by the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
The ministry reported that a further 9,273 people have been wounded since 2 March.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health places this video before the international community, the World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, all relevant international institutions, and local and international media. It serves as a documented condemnation of the systematic Israeli attacks targeting hospitals, emergency medical teams, and health centers in Lebanon.
The systematic targeting of healthcare workers and facilities is a grave violation of International Humanitarian Law. We place this evidence before the world: Silence is complicity. Protect Lebanon’s healers.
Lebanon’s Health Minister Rakan Nasseredine has released video footage showing what he says are repeated Israeli attacks on paramedics and healthcare workers across the country.
The footage captures several incidents, including one in which first responders attempt to evacuate a wounded medic inside an ambulance before a blast shatters the vehicle’s rear windows.
“The systematic targeting of healthcare workers and facilities is a grave violation of International humanitarian law,” Nasseredine wrote in a post on X alongside the video.
“We place this evidence before the world: Silence is complicity. Protect Lebanon’s healers.”

I‘ve spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured — they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews — but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they‘re equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here‘s a gift link to the article:
(transcript)
I’m appalled by this pattern of abuse, partly because our American tax dollars subsidize the Israeli security forces. I fear that leaves us complicit. The United States has leverage, and we could use it to insist on an end to the impunity and to demand that Red Cross visits be restored for Palestinian detainees. Look, whether you consider yourself pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian, here’s one thing we should be able to agree on: We’re anti-rape. The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day after day.
It’s a simple proposition: Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape.
Supporters of Israel made that point after the brutal sexual assaults against Israeli women during the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu and many U.S. senators, including Marco Rubio, condemned that sexual violence, and Netanyahu rightly called on “all civilized leaders” to “speak up.”
And yet in wrenching interviews, Palestinians have recounted to me a pattern of widespread Israeli sexual violence against men, women and even children — by soldiers, settlers, interrogators in the Shin Bet internal security agency and, above all, prison guards.
GAZA, May 11, 2026 (WAFA) – Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced today that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Strip has risen to 72,740, while 172,192 others were wounded since the start of the offensive on October 7, 2023.
The same sources reported that Gaza Strip hospitals received three more martyrs and 16 wounded in the past 24 hours.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced that the death toll caused by the Israeli aggression on Lebanon since 2 March has amounted to 2869 people, with an additional 8730 being injured.
The Associated Press reported:
The ministry said that after the initial strike, the man and his daughter managed to move away from the site only to be attacked again by the drone instantly killing the man. The girl then moved about 100 meters (yards) away and was hit again by the drone after she had been already wounded.
The girl was taken to the hospital, but did not survive her injuries, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
“What does terrorism mean to you? If it’s [not] double-tap killings of paramedics, journalists, and today a 12 year old girl, then what is it?”
