The displacement reflects the broader conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has intensified cross-border tensions in the region. Southern Lebanese families have left behind property and livelihoods with no clear indication of when conditions will stabilize enough for safe return. The scale and duration of the displacement remain unclear as military operations continue.
