Over 1 million Lebanese civilians have evacuated Beirut south and south Lebanon

During a briefing at IDF Northern Command, Defense Minister Katz was informed that over one million Lebanese civilians have followed Israeli evacuation warnings. 650,000 Lebanese have evacuated Beirut's southern suburbs — the Dahiyeh area, Hezbollah's historical urban stronghold — and another 500,000 have left southern Lebanon following IDF warnings ahead of strikes on Hezbollah positions. The mass displacement represents the largest population movement in Lebanon since the 2006 second Lebanon war and rivals the scale of displacement seen at peak points in the Syria civil war. The IDF issued evacuation warnings for the entire south of Lebanon and four major Beirut southern neighborhoods in recent days ahead of further strikes. With Hezbollah's Al-Qard al-Hasan financial network struck on Day 10 morning and the Nasr Unit commander killed, IDF is pressing its campaign with full intensity. The UN Lebanon coordinator Hennis-Plasschaert is visiting Israel today — Lebanon's displacement crisis will be a key agenda item.
