They hit the town! They hit the town! As he ran away from the Jewish assault, a physician in southern Lebanon wrote in a worried voice note to his friends. People of southern and eastern Lebanon fled cities, towns, and villages on Monday after the Israelis launched extensive cuts and issued warnings to residents to leave the areas where Hezbollah’s weaponry were stored. As they sorely tried to reach friends and loved ones, Lebanon reported a jumble of blocked roads and stumbling contacts lines.
Individuals in Lebanon were notified via text messages and automated calling on Monday that Hezbollah was storing dozens of long-range missiles in human homes, according to Israeli authorities. Human rights organizations criticized the allegations, claiming people had no way to determine how close they were to possible military goals.
Israel’s state and its warnings on Monday struck a striking parallel with Gaza, where civilians have been frequently displaced for almost a year after receiving an order from the Israeli military to relocate to areas it claimed would be safer. According to Palestinian journalist Nazir Reda, everyone is traveling to Beirut with their belongings and children; this is the first time since 2006, when Hezbollah and Israel past fought, and this is the first time there has been such a wave of panic.
