Sixty people have been killed and 168 others injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon over the past 24 hours, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported on Friday evening.

Since the start of the Gaza war in October last year, the Lebanese government said 2,229 people have been killed in Israeli attacks and 10,380 injured.

There was no breakdown of casualties among civilians or members of the Iran-allied Hezbollah movement.

Fifty-seven Israeli airstrikes were recorded in various parts of Lebanon over the past 24 hours, mainly in the south near the Israeli border, the southern suburbs of Beirut, and Bekaa in eastern Lebanon.

About 187,000 people are registered as internally displaced due to the violence while more than 430,000 people, including nearly 318,000 Syrians, have been officially recorded to have fled into neighbouring Syria.
