Lebanese Health Ministry: 70 killed in Israeli cyber attacks, Beirut missile strike

Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad said Saturday that 70 people were killed in Israeli cyber attacks and a missile strike in Beirut’s southern suburb.

In the Beirut raid, an entire building collapsed on the heads of its residents, most of them civilians, which is “clearly a war crime,” he told a press conference.

The wounded in the explosions on Tuesday and Wednesday of hand-held communication devices across Lebanon, which were triggered by a sophisticated cyber attack, were still being treated in hospitals, including 737 in regular rooms, and 152 were in critical condition in intensive care, said the minister.

He added that 2,078 surgeries have been conducted.
