The Israeli Army (IDF) has carried out the largest ever air strikes on Lebanon under ‘Operation Eternal Darkness’. On April 9, 2026, within just 10 minutes, more than 50 Israeli fighter planes targeted more than 100 targets. In these attacks, military bases in southern Lebanon, Beirut and Bekaa Valley have been destroyed. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least 182 people have died and more than 890 have been seriously injured in this action. The death toll is expected to increase further.
More than 1700 people have died so far
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, many lives have been buried under the debris of this war. More than 1,700 people have been killed so far, including at least 130 children. Whereas Israel says that it has killed about 1,100 Hezbollah fighters. It is known that these attacks took place when the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Pakistan’s claim that Lebanon is also included in the ceasefire agreement.
America accepts Lebanon as part of ceasefire
US President Donald Trump’s press secretary Caroline Levitt also said that Lebanon is not part of the agreement. On the other hand, Lebanon’s presidential office said, “He will continue efforts to maintain peace.” This marked the latest intensification in the decades-long conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.
When the group fired rockets at Israel in retaliation for the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the early stages of the war. In addition, rockets were fired in response to Israel’s almost daily attacks on Lebanon, despite a ceasefire agreed upon in November 2024.
