Israeli Strikes on Nabatieh Urban Centers Trigger Northward Exodus
Israeli airstrikes targeting infrastructure in the Nabatieh Governorate led to a sudden exodus of civilians. Local reports from the Lebanese National News Agency indicate that 22,000 people moved north toward Sidon and Beirut following the expansion of the strike zone into densely populated urban centers. The Ministry of Displaced Persons noted that the lack of designated shelters has forced many families to seek refuge in public parks as the cross-border escalation intensifies.
