Israeli airstrikes have escalated tensions in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of at least 13 people, including four women and a child. As violence continues, new forced displacement orders were issued by the Israeli military, affecting towns and villages, including Nabatieh and areas beyond current Israeli control.
Lebanese health ministry reported that overall casualties since early March have risen to
2,659 fatalities, with 103 health care workers among the dead. The Israeli Defense Forces noted that eight lives were claimed in Haboush and Zrarieh, prompting these evacuations. The military called for residents to move at least 1,000 meters away from their homes for safety.
The situation has attracted international condemnation. Reports indicated that Israeli forces demolished parts of a Catholic convent in Yaroun, which was unoccupied due to fighting. The Catholic Church condemned the destruction, insisting that places of worship should be respected and are meant to promote peace and education. This comes amidst a backdrop of ongoing violence where, in total,
32 were injured in attacks on Friday alone. Community leaders express concern over the fatalities and escalating humanitarian crisis as the conflict persists.
The Lebanese government has reported a staggering
8,183 injuries since fighting erupted over two months ago.
