“Until now, we have recorded 4,047 dead and 16,638 wounded,” Abiad stated during a press briefing, noting that the figures may be underestimated due to unreported deaths.

Most of the fatalities were reported after September 15, a period marked by intensified Israeli attacks, according to the minister. He provided the update a week after a ceasefire was implemented, bringing a temporary halt to the violence.

The conflict has left a devastating impact on civilians and infrastructure, with international organizations urging both sides to prioritize humanitarian relief and reconstruction efforts. (ILKHA)
