Hi there,

Our team of independent journalists comes together everyday to deliver the news you need, but right now, less than 1% of people who count on Democracy Now! donate to support our work. If just 1% of our global audience made a donation of any amount today, it would cover our costs for an entire year. For the last time this month, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE all new monthly donations started today, which means your monthly gift of $15 is worth $45. Please donate today to ensure we remain your go-to source for the most important stories of the day. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Israel Intensifies Attacks on Southern Lebanon, Expanding Evacuation Orders

HeadlineMay 28, 2026

Israel has intensified its attacks on southern Lebanon after ordering tens of thousands of additional residents to flee their homes or face death. With its latest order targeting all areas south of the Zahrani River, Israel has declared some 14% of Lebanon’s territory as a combat zone. The expanded forced evacuation orders include most of Tyre, Lebanon’s fourth-largest city. Meanwhile, Israel’s latest attacks have killed at least 14 people, including several children. After headlines, we’ll go to Beirut to speak with Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at Human Rights Watch.
