Lebanon's head of emergency disaster management, Nasser Yassin, warned the country is on the brink of a "catastrophic humanitarian situation," as the number of displaced people surged from 300,000 to nearly one million in hours. Despite hundreds of shelters being opened, Lebanon faces an unprecedented crisis, burdened by its 4 million residents, 1.5 million Syrian refugees, and 250,000 Palestinian refugees. Yassin criticized Israel’s aggressive tactics, including posting warnings on X before airstrikes. Israel claims it is targeting Hezbollah militants in response to rocket attacks on its northern regions, which have also displaced Israeli residents.

On Sunday, Israel launched airstrikes targeting critical infrastructure of Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, following a missile attack on Tel Aviv.

Lebanon is enduring its "worst moment," according to Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Israeli air strikes. The attacks, which have caused mass civilian casualties, included devastating bunker-busting bombs in Beirut. Families, such as Madina Mustafa Ali and her seven-month-old baby Amir, are now displaced and seeking refuge in Beirut’s Martyrs Square. Abboud expressed shock at the lack of international response, saying, "It's as if what’s happening here does not mean anything." As a three-day mourning period begins, Lebanon faces escalating tensions, with fears of Hezbollah retaliation and potential Iranian intervention.
