An estimated 3,100 buildings in Lebanon have been damaged or destroyed since September 20, 2024.

— The strikes have killed at least 1,336 people and displaced over 1 million from their homes. This is the deadliest conflict in Lebanon for more than three decades, exceeding the death toll of the 2006 war with Israel.

— Israel's air force struck at least 4,600 targets in Lebanon between September 20 and October 2, sometimes more than 1,000 in a single day. The campaign's intensity is described as almost unprecedented, comparable only to the strikes on Gaza.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev issued a warning to Yerevan and France:

I warn Armenia, stop these dangerous games! On the one hand, they talk about peace, they lie, on the other hand, they carry out large-scale armament. Who gives them weapons? France and other anti-Azerbaijani countries. Why are they given these weapons for free? No matter how hard they try, nothing will work.

Today, they should leave the South Caucasus alone, surrender, go and do their own thing, sort out their problems, wash away their bloody past and try to wash away their sins.

Let them restore the independence of those 100 thousand people they tortured today, stop their colonial policy, stop oppressing peoples, stop sticking their noses everywhere. This is my warning, and I think that whoever hears it and follows it will not be mistaken.
