The figures on the death toll come from Lebanon's Health Department on Saturday.

In addition, Israel carried out extensive raids against targets in southern Lebanon. Five people were killed in the town of Hanouiyeh, according to the Health Department.

Another five people were killed in Deir Qanun, where the fatalities belonged to the Islamist movement Hezbollah's rescue team.

Girls killed

Saturday's reports of deadly attacks have not been confirmed by the Israeli army.

Late on Friday, massive raids were also carried out against southern Lebanon, primarily against the town of Tyre and its surroundings. Seven people have been confirmed dead, including two girls.

Another fifty people were injured. All fatalities have not yet been identified, as DNA results are awaited.

Ongoing clearance of rubble continued late on Saturday to search for additional victims. The death toll has been updated in stages after the attacks, as the destruction is extensive.

Lebanon's state news agency NNA reported that "enemy aircraft" had also destroyed two historically important buildings in Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon.

Since Israel intensified its operations against Lebanon on September 23, over 2,600 people have been killed, according to the country's Health Minister Firass Abiad.

Attack on Syria

At the same time, reports emerged of Israeli attacks on targets in Syria.

At least "four pro-Iranian Syrian fighters" were killed when an Israeli fighter jet attacked a research center and adjacent storage buildings near the city of Safira in the Aleppo region.

Israel is thus attacking targets in northern Syria and increasingly close to the Turkish border, which is five miles away.

The report comes from the London-based Syrian Human Rights Observatory (SOHR) and has not been confirmed by other independent sources.
