Death toll rises to 45 from Israeli strike on Beirut: Lebanon ministry

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept 22, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The death toll from an Israeli air
strike that targeted Hezbollah military commanders in Beirut's southern
suburbs this week has risen to 45, Lebanon's health ministry said Sunday.

"The number of dead has risen to 45 people," a ministry statement said,
updating an earlier toll of 37 from the Friday attack. It said "work
continues to remove the rubble for the third day in a row" and that DNA
sampling would be used to determine the identities of some of the bodies.
