Israeli Military Expands Evacuation Orders in Southern Lebanon Amid Ongoing Strikes

The Israeli military has expanded evacuation orders in southern Lebanon, now covering about 14% of the country, including parts of Beirut and areas south of the Zahrani river. These orders have displaced over 800,000 people amid ongoing strikes targeting Hezbollah and Iranian forces. Humanitarian groups report widespread panic, strained shelters, and overstretched hospitals. The U.N. and NGOs have expressed concern over the legality and humanitarian impact of the mass evacuations and ongoing hostilities.
