JAKARTA - If smooth, Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah will immediately carry out a ceasefire based on an agreement aimed at ending more than a year of hostilities sparked by the Gaza conflict.

Here are some of the main impacts of the conflict, which increased dramatically two months ago when Israel launched an attack on Iran-backed groups by Reuters on Tuesday, November 26.

VICTIM

A total of 3,768 people died in Lebanon and 15,699 people have been injured since October 2023, according to the Lebanese health ministry on November 24.

This figure does not differentiate between Hezbollah fighters and civilians. Most of the fatalities occurred after Israel launched an attack in September.

The number of victims of Hezbollah who died is not yet known.

The group has announced the deaths of about 500 of its fighters in hostilities until Israel launched its September offensive, but stopped doing so at the time.

Tel Aviv University's Institute of National Security Studies, which has close ties to military groups, said Hezbollah had lost a total of 2,450 people.

The Hezbollah attack has killed 45 civilians in northern Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

At least 73 Israeli soldiers were killed in northern Israel, the Golan Heights, and in fighting in southern Lebanon, according to Israeli authorities.

DAMAGE

In Lebanon, losses due to housing damage are estimated at 2.8 billion US dollars, with more than 99,000 housing units partially or completely destroyed, according to a World Bank report.

On the southern suburbs alone Beirut, which is the base of Hezbollah, an Israeli attack has destroyed at least 262 buildings, according to American University Beirut Urban Lab.

Most of the damage to Israel occurred in an area adjacent to the Lebanese border, which was hit by Hezbollah rockets.

About 55,000 hectares of forests, nature heritage, parks and open land in northern Israel and the Golan highlands have been on fire since the start of the war, Israeli authorities said.

REFUGEE

As of November 18, more than 886,000 people have fled in Lebanon, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

More than 540,000 people have left Lebanon to Syria since the war began, according to UNHCR data.

In Israel, about 60,000 people fled their homes in the north.
