HeadlineMay 04, 2026

Israel’s military issued new forced displacement orders this weekend for more than 10 towns and villages in southern Lebanon, including areas north of the Litani River, beyond its current zone of occupation. Israeli attacks killed at least 41 people on Saturday, despite a ceasefire that has been in place since mid-April. Israel claims its attacks target Hezbollah, but many of the dead were civilians. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, Israel has killed 2,659 people since March 2. More than 1 million people, roughly one-fifth of Lebanon’s population, have been displaced.
