Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati announced that Israeli air strikes have caused the displacement of up to one million people, as hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah intensify.
Over 50 people were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Sunday. Hezbollah responded by firing rockets into northern Israel, further escalating the conflict. Hezbollah confirmed that two top commanders, Ali Karaki and Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, were among those killed.
The displacement crisis has overwhelmed local resources, with families fleeing destroyed homes and many seeking shelter outside Lebanon.
The violence is part of a broader campaign by Israel against Iranian-backed groups in the region. On Sunday, Israel launched large-scale airstrikes on military targets in Yemen, targeting the Iran-backed Houthi militia.
The hostilities escalated after the October 8 Hamas attack on Israel, with Hezbollah joining the fray in solidarity with the Palestinians. Hundreds of lives have been lost since, with thousands more displaced both in Gaza and now, Lebanon.
