Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Intensify, Affecting Displaced Communities

Deepening Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon's northern regions are exacerbating fears and tensions among local communities hosting displaced persons.

An Israeli airstrike in the Christian village of Aito killed nearly two dozen people, including women and children, targeting a Hezbollah official.
The conflict has displaced an estimated 1.2 million people in Lebanon, with many fleeing north for safety, only to face new threats.
Communities in Lebanon's north are torn between hosting displaced individuals and facing security risks, leading to rising tensions and fears of demographic changes.
Despite the conflict, many Lebanese citizens are providing aid to displaced families, with some volunteering at community kitchens and donation centers.
The ongoing violence has heightened anxieties in areas previously considered safe, as Israeli strikes increasingly reach northern Lebanon.
