Israeli Guns Displace 200,000 in Lebanon

Over 200,000 were displaced inside Lebanon because of Israeli airstrikes, the UN high commissioner for refugees said on Saturday.

“More than 50,000 Lebanese and Syrians living in Lebanon have now crossed into Syria fleeing Israeli airstrikes,” Filippo Grandi wrote on X.

“Relief operations are underway, including by UNHCR, to help all those in need, in coordination with both governments,” he added.

Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the start of Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which has killed nearly 41,600 victims, mostly women and children, following a cross-border attack by Hamas last Oct. 7 according to the Anadolu news agency.
