Over 1,000 dead in Lebanon after Israel escalated military operations

Since Israel escalated its military operations in Lebanon in early March, at least 1,039 people have been killed, the BBC reports.

In addition, nearly 2,900 more people have been injured, according to the latest tally from Lebanon's Ministry of Health.

Israel continued its attacks on targets in Lebanon on Monday that are said to be linked to Iran-backed Hezbollah. Explosions were heard in the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut after the Israeli military issued evacuation orders.

During a ground operation in southern Lebanon, Israeli soldiers confronted and captured several members of the Shiite militia's Radwan commando force, according to a statement.
