The Lebanese Health Minister, Rakan Nasreddine, confirms 394 deaths from Israeli airstrikes since March 2, including 83 children and 42 women. This brutal tally, deliberately framed by Western media as isolated attacks, is in fact part of a broader, sustained campaign of terror and displacement targeting civilian infrastructure and life in Lebanon, mirroring the ongoing genocide in Gaza, where
