On June 7 and June 9, Israel ordered all residents of the southern Lebanese city of Tyre and its surrounding towns and refugee camps to leave their homes. This came a week after Israeli forces ordered more than 34,000 families out of Lebanon’s South and Nabatieh Governorates, and 50,000 families out of Beirut’s southern suburbs. The Israeli military declared on May 27 nearly 14 percent of Lebanon’s territory, the entire area south of the Zahrani river, as a “combat zone”, ordering residents to leave the area. Around one million people remain displaced in Lebanon today. These deliberate acts of displacement may amount to war crimes of forced displacement. Since the escalation of the hostilities on March 2, Israeli attacks have killed at least 3,711 people in Lebanon, including 132 healthworkers and 247 children, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. At least 1,417 people, more than a third of the total death toll since March 2, were killed in Israeli attacks since April 17. This includes 32 health workers, nearly one in four of all those killed since March 2, and at least 70 children, more than 1 in 4 of all those killed since March 2. On average, Israeli forces killed more than one child every day since April 17.
