At least 54 people were killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Sunday, taking the overall death toll since last year to 3,240, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Monday.

In a statement, the ministry added that 56 other people were wounded in the past day, raising the total number of injured to 14,134 since last October.

Israel has launched a massive air campaign in Lebanon since late September against what it claims are Hezbollah targets in an escalation from year-long cross-border warfare between Israel and the Lebanese group since the start of Israel's brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Israel expanded the conflict by launching a ground assault into southern Lebanon on Oct. 1 this year.
