IDF Ground Corridor Expansion Displaces 15,000 in Southern Lebanon
The IDF expanded its security corridor in southern Lebanon on March 25, 2026, engaging in ground battles with Hezbollah units. The escalation forced 15,000 residents from several border villages to evacuate further north toward Sidon. The Lebanese Red Cross facilitated the movement as cross-border shelling intensified. Sources from L'Orient-Le Jour indicated that the displacement was triggered by direct military warnings and the destruction of civilian infrastructure during the fighting.
Casualties reported: 8
