The United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been newly displaced within Lebanon in just 24 hours amid the fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.
Israel and Hezbollah have been righting since last week, when the terror group began attacking Israel amid the US-Israeli war with Iran. The IDF issued evacuation orders for the entirety of southern Lebanon south of the Litani River, and a section of Beirut’s suburbs that serves as a Hezbollah stronghold, amid its strikes on Hezbollah.
“As of today, more than 667,000 people in Lebanon have now registered on the (Lebanese) government’s online platform as displaced — and this is an increase of 100,000 in just one day,” says Karolina Lindholm Billing, the UN refugee agency’s representative in Lebanon.
“That’s a faster pace of displacement compared to 2024,” she tells reporters in Geneva, speaking from Beirut, referring to the previous conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
