The economic losses from Israel’s war on the country may exceed $20 billion –

‘Israel’ is killing an average of 50 people a day in its war on Lebanon  in a “costly and deadly war.”

“Lebanon’s Health Ministry says more than 3,100 people have been killed during 13 months of fighting, but the majority have been killed since mid-September when Israel launched that big offensive, among them 200 children and 600 women,” Khodr stated while reporting from Beirut.

“What is becoming clear is there is no front line,” Khodr added, as ‘Israel’ continues to carry out attacks throughout the country, rather than just in front line areas near the Lebanon–Israel border where Hezbollah fighters battle invading Israeli ground troops.

“When they go after a target, they are willing to bring down a whole building and kill families. So dozens of people are killed sometimes in just a single strike,” the veteran Al Jazeera journalist added.Israel again hit multiple targets across Lebanon on Friday.

Two people were killed in Israeli strikes that bombed Kfar Tebnit in the Nabatieh district, the correspondent for L’Orient Today reported.

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that a paramedic from the Islamic Health Organization was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a newly established medical center on the Deir Qanoun–Ras al-Ain to Naqoura road in southern Lebanon.

The correspondent for NNA in Tyre (Sour) reported that four people were killed in a raid on the town of Al-Ghandouriyeh.

Israeli warplanes also carried out raids targeting the towns of Tair Harfa and Al-Heniyeh in Tyre District.

The NNA correspondent added that Israeli artillery targeted the vicinity of Ras al-Ain ponds and the Qleileh plain, south of Tyre, injuring six Syrians, according to the head of the Tyre District Medical Department at the Ministry of Health, Dr Wissam Ghazal.

Israeli warplanes also launched a raid targeting the southern Lebanese town of Burj al-Mouluk and the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya in the Nabatieh district.

The NNA correspondent also reported that the raid on the town of Burj al-Mouluk targeted buildings on the Burj al-Muluk–Deir Mimas road.

The war, which has now lasted 13 months, is also taking a heavy economic toll on Lebanon.

On Friday, the Independent Task Force for Lebanon (ITFL), a group of Lebanese economists and researchers, warned that the country’s economic losses from Israel’s war on the country may exceed $20bn, while the percentage of people living in extreme poverty may reach 80 percent in heavily bombed areas.
