More than 370 Hezbollah members have been killed in 10 months of near-daily cross-border fire with Israeli forces, according to an AFP tally, more than the Iran-backed movement lost in the 2006 war with Israel.
On the Israeli side, 22 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed, including in the annexed Golan Heights, according to military figures.
In Gaza, where the war has destroyed much of the territory’s housing and other infrastructure, relatively few deaths were reported on Thursday.
In the deadliest bombardment, emergency services said air strikes killed five people in Gaza City.
Israel’s military said troops had killed about 20 militants in Rafah, southern Gaza.
On Wednesday, dead and wounded including bloodied children arrived at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis after an Israeli strike.
“I was not pro-Hamas but now I support them and I want to fight,” one grieving man shouted.
