Airstrikes Escalate Before Ceasefire, Displacing Thousands
In the immediate days leading up to a late-June ceasefire, escalated airstrikes and cross-border exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah forced thousands of civilians to abandon their homes in southern Lebanon and parts of Beirut. Relief agencies noted that approximately 5,000 individuals abruptly fled to temporary collective shelters during this specific surge in violence.
