On September 26th, 2024, the Mount (Jabal) Lebanon Governorate was subjected to reported Israeli bombardments. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, in a statement issued via its Public Health Emergency Operations Center, confirmed that the bombardment within the past twenty-four hours on Mount Lebanon Governorate led to the death of four individuals and the injury of 29. This figure was consistently reported by multiple news outlets and social media accounts, including @Sa7atPlBreaking, Lebanon Now, and Lebanon change, all citing the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Other comprehensive reports, such as those from Ebrahim aldrawy and Sawra Eben Tarik Jdide, which compiled casualty tolls across various Lebanese governorates for the same day, also listed precisely four killed and 29 injured, specifically within the Mount Lebanon Governorate. While some sources, like @DonaldTrumpAOCC, framed the casualties as “Hezbollah elements,” the official statement from the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health refers to the fatalities as “martyrs” and injured, without specifying affiliation. This source shared an image showing Hezbollah flags draped on coffins and carried aloft; while it is possible Hezbollah members were killed in this strike, no specific evidence has been given. The sole reference to “Hezbollah elements” appears more likely to reflect Israel’s stated target rather than provide verified confirmation of militant casualties.
There were no contradicting reports on the numbers for Mount Lebanon specifically in the provided research, though one later tweet from @AliAlimsagD on September 28th, referencing Al Masirah TV, mentioned 4 martyrs and 17 injured in the Baadran area in Chouf town within Mount Lebanon, but this is a specific location within the broader governorate and does not contradict the overall figures for the entire governorate from the Ministry of Health’s 24-hour report.
