- Story Text: Mourners gathered in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Monday (April 6) for the funeral of a Lebanese resident of the village of Majdal Zoun who was killed in an Israeli strike.
The body was placed in a coffin before being temporarily buried.
"It is a temporary burial until we free our land and expel the Israeli enemy from all of our villages, cities, and all of Lebanon, God willing," said Mayor of the village, Youssef Shehimi.
Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East conflict when Iranian-backed Hezbollah began to launch rockets at Israel on March 2 in support of Tehran.
Israel has launched strikes on Lebanon and invaded the south in what has become the most violent spillover of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
By late March, more than 400 Hezbollah fighters had been killed, sources told Reuters. At least 10 Israeli troops have been killed in southern Lebanon in the same period, the Israeli military has said.
The Lebanese health ministry said 1,461 people had been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon as of Sunday, raising the death toll since the start of the war by 39 in around 24 hours. More than one million people have been displaced.
