How many people has Israel killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire?

On Sunday, the day Israeli forces were due to withdraw from southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reported that the Israeli army had shot and killed at least 24 people, including six women, and injured 134 others, among them 14 women and 12 children.

The next day, Israeli forces shot and killed at least two people and wounded 17.

The killings are the latest in a series of Israeli attacks since a ceasefire between the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah and Israel began on November 27.

In the two months from November 27 to Monday, Israel killed at least 83 people in Lebanon, according to data obtained from Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. At least 228 were also injured as displaced residents tried to return to villages where Israeli soldiers remain stationed.

Since the beginning of the conflict on October 8, 2023, to November 26, 2024, Israeli forces killed at least 3,961 people across Lebanon and injured at least 16,520.

What was agreed to in the ceasefire?

Under the United States-brokered ceasefire, Israeli forces were to have withdrawn from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah was to have moved north of the Litani River, about 30km (20 miles) from the Lebanon-Israel border, by Sunday.

Israel was meant to “gradually withdraw” its forces from southern Lebanon in the 60 days after the ceasefire took effect and the Lebanese army was to deploy to the territory.

Once the Israeli military was out, peacekeepers with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were to enter, followed by the Lebanese armed forces (LAF).

Furthermore, the LAF is supposed to ensure that it is the only Lebanese armed presence in southern Lebanon.
