BEIRUT: Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad on Wednesday said the toll in more than a year of war between Israel and Hezbollah had reached 4,047 dead, most of them since September.
“Until now… we have recorded 4,047 dead and 16,638 wounded,” Abiad told reporters a week after a ceasefire took effect.

Most of the deaths occurred after September 15, he said, adding that “we believe the real number may be higher” due to unrecorded deaths.
