1.2 Million Flee Israeli Airstrikes as Families Take Refuge in Lebanese Mountains

Up to 1.2 million people have been forced to flee their homes as Israel continues to pummel Lebanese villages with airstrikes, with displaced families taking refuge in mountain areas. Al Jazeera reported on April 6 that Israeli bombardment has devastated Lebanese villages, driving mass civilian displacement as one of the largest refugee crises in Lebanon's recent history unfolds. The scale of displacement—rivaling the 2006 Lebanon war—reflects the intensity of sustained Israeli aerial operations across the country.
