Over a million flee Lebanon amid Israeli strikes

In Lebanon, over a million people have fled their homes due to escalating Israeli airstrikes, marking the largest mass displacement in the country's history. The situation has led to deserted roads in southern Lebanon as authorities struggle to manage the influx of displaced individuals. Concurrently, the United States has initiated airstrikes against Houthi forces in Yemen, further complicating the regional conflict. President Biden has stated that Israel has the right to respond to attacks from Iran and its allies, emphasizing the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, classified as a terrorist organization by the US, has been involved in shaping regional dynamics, particularly through its support for groups like Hezbollah. The IRGC's military capabilities, including a significant stock of ballistic missiles, pose a threat to stability in the region, as evidenced by the current conflict. The IDF has issued warnings to civilians about the dangers of moving south, indicating a potential escalation in violence and further displacement of communities.
