Mass displacement in Lebanon: Where are people fleeing to? | DW News

Israel said it targeted a Hezbollah weapons depot in Beirut, after rejecting any 'unilateral' cease-fire plan. It was the first strike on the Lebanese capital in five days. The strike occurred less than an hour after the Israeli military ordered residents to leave a part of the city. Black smoke billowed from between buildings in the Haret Hreik neighborhood.

Israel did say they will turn lebanon into gaza.

Displaced citizens must go to Iran, because Iran is tha who is fueling this conflicts in the middle east

[joenettey]

Was Hezbollah and the Lebanese government expecting candies from Israel when Hezbollah started firing projectiles at Israel?

[DarrylD]

IF Lebanon did not attack Israel there would be no problem. The lebanese attacked Israel. What did they expect?

[titob.yotokojr.]

Israel is not targetting Lebanon but targetting hezbollah being housed in Lebanon and protected by the government. Remember 10.7.23.

I wish my own government had balls as big as the Israelis have. Wish you luck Israel. Proudly we stand with you and the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces 🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱 Cheers from Switzerland

Lebanon doesn’t have the resources to care for the people displaced by the current war. Yet Hezbollah has the resources to continue fighting Israel no matter what happens to their fellow countrymen. What does that say about the priorities of Hezbollah?

My opinion, I see Israel as a small country trying to develop the country to be prosperous in many aspects, such as investing in agricultural development, developing education, providing knowledge and skills to the people, and installing national defense equipment to protect their people. But why do some countries around Israel in the Middle East not try to spend money to develop the country, not build their people to have a good education? Why do they make their own people poor, making the country look dry and lifeless? And why don't they use that money to buy national defense equipment to protect their people, but instead use that money to dig tunnels to store deadly weapons under their houses, leaving the people as human shields to protect themselves, teaching their children to hold on to their anger? These are things that I have studied and reviewed many times. In conclusion, this is the reason why I like Israel, a beautiful country, and the Israeli people seem peaceful and happy when there is no war. I pray to God to protect Israel, to be safe, to be victorious over all evil, and to let Israel be peaceful and beautiful forever. With love.

Who would have thought that starting a war was bad ha?!

[MLLailai]

why flee the home, they just need to kick out the regime

[davidt]

Why don't you talk about Hezbollah using ambulances to transport fighters and weapons? civilians are complicit here

[feyrusfanaxle]

So this is what they call limited operation 😮

[fultoneth]

Ordinary lebanese, the future generation should thank israel 🇮🇱

[mabhodlelajj]

DW will tell you about civilian toll and casualties 24/7, but one casualty you will never hear about just like it was the case in Gaza with Amas, it's Hezbolah casualties.They will melt Hezbolah casualties with civilian one to act like Israel is just attacking civilians..

[KazzProx]

This is absolutely awful. And it was avoidable.

[changedNameSorry]

If there was only a way to differentiate civillians from combatants. Like combatants wearing some special kind of clothing that they were obliged to wear. One could even write a law code for war and make this obligatory.

[dinnerwaltz]

With Daddy America,
they are not afraid of anyone.

[larryeifler]

There was no such talk about the firebombing of Tokyo.

[ethanrichardson]

Israel was begged to strike Beirut suburbs

[ofw-ako]

Sad to see these while Iran is living at peace, while its Iran fueling this war
