Israel orders evacuation in southern Beirut suburb

Middle Eastern outlets describe the Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs as a direct threat to densely populated civilian areas, including Palestinian refugee camps. Coverage stresses that forced evacuation orders and bombing runs are pushing families from their homes and could drag Lebanon deeper into the war. These reports often question Israel’s claim that the targets are limited to Hezbollah sites, warning of rising anger across Lebanon.
