Intense waves of displacement continue from towns and villages in southern Lebanon, especially from the districts of Tyre and Bint Jbeil, toward Sidon and Beirut, amid the escalation of violent and ongoing Israeli airstrikes on areas in the south as well as the Jezzine district and the Bekaa.

 

 

The northern entrance to the city of Sidon is witnessing severe traffic congestion, especially from vehicles coming from the south, while displacement movements from villages located south and east of the city of Tyre have extended toward areas located south and north of the Litani River.
