Hezbollah is now the target of “serious force,” as residents flee toward cities like Sidon, already overwhelmed by displaced people. This escalation comes during Eid al-Adha, adding to the strain as over a million Lebanese have been displaced since March. Israel appears to be targeting southern areas more aggressively than Beirut, possibly to avoid complicating diplomatic efforts, while maintaining military presence and surveillance over the capital.
