Southern Beirut residents again on the move after Israeli attack threat

Israel has kept up relentless attacks on towns in southern Lebanon, a day after US mediation appeared to have averted an immediate escalation of the war with threatened attacks on the capital, Beirut. But the development failed to reassure ⁠many Lebanese – 1.2 million of whom have been displaced – as the buzz of Israeli drones over Beirut kept residents on edge on Tuesday. “Every time we return to our homes, there is a warning for us to be displaced again,” said Faten al-Chehime, who fled to a makeshift camp from her home in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Monday, only two weeks after returning home.
