What happened
Crowds of displaced Lebanese from the country's south gathered outside the United Nations offices in Beirut to protest Israeli attacks that have led to the destruction of homes, towns, and villages. The protests followed a major escalation that began in early March, after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, prompting Hezbollah to retaliate. Protesters stated that Israel has reportedly occupied around 600 sq km of territory in Southern Lebanon, displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians from 57 towns and villages.
