Israel attacks southern suburbs of Beirut, thousands of people forced to flee

On Thursday, Israel attacked the southern suburbs of Beirut, before ordering all residents there to immediately evacuate their homes. Roads in the Lebanese capital were jammed as people tried to flee in fear while the army determined which routes were safe. The reason behind this attack is the impact of the conflict that started after the US and Israel attacks on Iran last week.

Hezbollah launched a missile and drone attack on Israel on Monday, a year after Israel responded to it in southern Lebanon and the suburbs of Beirut. So far 123 people have lost their lives in this conflict and more than 83,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. Israel’s hard-line Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich warned that these areas under Hezbollah control could face a devastation similar to Gaza’s Khan Yaunis.
