Families have migrated from southern Lebanon to Beirut and Sidon, a seaside city. They are sleeping in parks, automobiles, and along the beach, as well as in schools that have been converted into shelters. Several attempted to flee the nation, resulting in a traffic bottleneck near the Syrian border.
Late on Tuesday, Israel reported that fighter jets had launched “extensive strikes” against Hezbollah weapons and rocket launchers in the southern part of Lebanon and the northern Bekaa region. Although the military has stated that it does not currently have any plans for a ground invasion, it has not provided a timeline for the air war.
At France’s request, the UN Security Council called an emergency meeting on Lebanon for this Wednesday.
Tens of thousands of people have already been forced to flee their homes on both sides of the border due to violence between Israel and Hezbollah for almost a year before this week’s intensification. While Hezbollah has declared it will easits rocket strikes until there is a truce in Gaza, which looks increasingly unlikely, Israel has pledged to do all it takes to ensure that its citizens may return to their homes in the north.
