IDF Evacuation Orders for South Lebanon Trigger Mass Exodus
On April 2, 2026, the IDF issued forced displacement orders for several border villages in South Lebanon, including Bint Jbeil and surrounding areas, citing military operations against Hezbollah. The order resulted in the new displacement of approximately 75,000 civilians toward Beirut and the Bekaa Valley within 24 hours. Sources report that the destruction of bridges over the Litani River has severely complicated the flight of these newly displaced families.
