Israel’s Attacks on Lebanon Have Driven More Than 1 Million from Their Homes

HeadlineMar 17, 2026

In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have driven more than 1 million people from their homes and killed more than 880 people. Israeli troops launched ground operations in southern Lebanon on Monday. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said southern Lebanese residents will not return to their homes until the safety of Israelis near the border was guaranteed. This is a displaced mother who fled to Beirut due to Israeli attacks.

Douaa Mroueh: “Of course, I was displaced. My house was damaged. The situation is difficult, of course. I mean, I can’t describe to you the feeling that we’re experiencing, but it’s hard, very hard. It’s hard to leave your home, hard to leave your land.”
