Lebanese Minister of Social Affairs Haneen Al-Sayed stated that the number of displaced people registered in shelters has reached 83,847, noting that 399 shelters have been established across various regions.

At the same time, Israeli forces expanded evacuation warnings to include all residents of southern Lebanon, urging them to leave the area and move north of the Litani River. During this period, Beirut’s Disaster Risk Management Unit documented 403 hostile acts against Lebanon since the escalation began.

The current attacks come amid an escalation that has been ongoing for more than a year. Since October 2023, Israel’s war on Lebanon has killed more than 4,000 people and injured nearly 17,000, eventually escalating into a full-scale war in September 2024.
