  • Story Text:Some displaced Lebanese gathered at the side of a Beirut road on Thursday (March 12) morning, with personal belongings such as blankets and mattresses by their side.
    Israeli strikes battered Beirut's southern suburbs late on Wednesday (March 11), lighting up the skyline with flashes of red and setting buildings on fire, after the Lebanese-armed group Hezbollah launched a volley of rockets into northern Israel.
    Israel launched an offensive against Iran-backed Hezbollah after it opened fire on March 2 to avenge the killing of Iran's supreme leader at the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
    Israeli strikes have killed more than 600 people in Lebanon, and uprooted 800,000 more, Lebanese authorities say.
