Death toll from Israeli strikes on Lebanon passes 3,000

from Radio National Breakfast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

The war between Israel and Hezbollah has passed a grim milestone.More than 3,000 people have been killed since the start of the war on the 2nd of March, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry, including some 400 deaths since the US-brokered ceasefire came into force just over a month ago.The truce - which was extended for a further 45 days on Friday - has so far failed to stop the fighting.Just one day after it was extended, Israel launched a new wave of air strikes on southern Lebanon - killing dozens of people, while Hezbollah said it responded with a drone attack on northern Israel.GUEST: David Wood, senior Lebanon researcher at the International Crisis GroupPRODUCER: Pip Cook
