Israel has issued a forced evacuation order to all residents of southern Lebanon, worsening a wave of mass displacement as the Israeli military continues to launch deadly attacks across the country.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Israeli army ordered Lebanese civilians to “evacuate [their] homes immediately and move north beyond the Litani River” as it planned to bomb what it described as Hezbollah targets.

Since 2 March 2026, there is an ongoing war in Lebanon, between the state of Israel and the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah. The war[27][28][29][30] has killed more than 1,000 people in Lebanon[25][31] and displaced nearly 1 million, 20% of the country’s entire population,[32] creating a humanitarian crisis.[32] It is a major escalation in the wider conflict throughout the Middle East[33][34] and the Israeli–Lebanese conflict.

Since November 2024, despite an official ceasefire, Israel has continued its attacks in Lebanon nearly every day,[35] killing 500 people (including 127 civilians),[36] while Hezbollah violated the ceasefire by rebuilding its militant infrastructure and weapons arsenal. [37] On 28 February 2026, the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran and assassinated Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.[38][39] In response, Hezbollah launched strikes on Israel. Israel responded by launching strikes across Lebanon, including the capital Beirut. The Israeli army began ground operations in southern Lebanon on 16 March 2026.[40]

Following the 2 March attacks launched by Hezbollah against Israel, the Lebanese government publicly condemned Hezbollah for launching attacks without state authorization. It stated that decisions of war and peace are exclusively in the hands of the Lebanese state, moved to ban Hezbollah’s military activities, called on the group to place its weapons under government control and cease further unauthorized attacks from Lebanese territory.[41][42][43]
