BEIRUT, March 10 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon has risen to 570, with 1,444 others wounded since the escalation began on March 2, figures released on Tuesday by the Disaster Risk Management Unit at the Lebanese Council of Ministers showed.

The conflict has triggered large-scale displacement across the country. About 759,300 people have been registered as displaced, according to government data.

Authorities said 122,600 displaced people are currently staying in 580 shelters set up across various regions to house families forced to flee their homes amid the continuing hostilities.

Meanwhile, Israel carried out three airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs on Tuesday afternoon, Lebanon's National News Agency reported, and continued strikes on several areas in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah said it launched rockets from Lebanon toward Israel early on March 2 for the first time since a ceasefire was declared on Nov. 27, 2024. The move prompted the Lebanese government to ban the group's security and military activities, limiting it to political work and requiring it to hand over its weapons.

The Israeli military said it had launched what it described as an "offensive military campaign" against Hezbollah, carrying out heavy airstrikes across multiple Lebanese areas and conducting ground incursions near the border. It also warned residents to evacuate areas south of the Litani River and Beirut's southern suburbs.
