According to data released by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, Israeli military operations in Lebanon since October 2023 have led to 8,920 fatalities and 30,595 injuries. The ministry also reported that 135 healthcare workers have been killed during 179 separate incidents involving ambulance crews since March 2, 2024.

These strikes resulted in four confirmed deaths: two individuals in Nabatieh al-Fawqa and two women in the village of Arab Salim. Additionally, 20 people were reported wounded, including three children. The strikes also caused the destruction of the Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, a facility that had reportedly been closed for several years prior to the attack.
