Between March 2 and March 16, Israeli attacks have killed at least 886 people – including 67 women, 111 children, and 38 health workers – and wounded 2,141, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health.

More than a million Lebanese have been displaced from their homes, with Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz on Monday saying he would not allow the return of people to the country’s south until the safety of Israelis is guaranteed.

Since October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed at least 5,282 people, according to the latest figures from the Lebanese Health Ministry and historical data compiled by ACLED.

Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians, and the enclave of 2.3 million people has been turned into rubble. Israel has killed more than 800 Palestinians since the latest ceasefire brokered by the United States in October 2025.

Israel and Hezbollah signed a ceasefire deal on November 26, 2024, after nearly two months of fighting and Israeli incursion in southern Lebanon. But Israel refused to pull out its troops and continued attacks in violation of the deal.

On March 12, the Israeli army expanded its forced displacement orders for residents of southern Lebanon – from the Litani River to north of the Zahrani River, about 40km (25 miles) north of the Israeli border.

According to the Norwegian Refugee Council, Israel’s sweeping evacuation orders now cover more than 1,470sq km (568sq miles), or about 14 percent of the country’s territory.

The map below shows more than 100 towns and villages across the country that are under forced evacuation orders from the Israeli military.

At its peak, 899,725 people were forcefully displaced by Israeli forces. Most of them had returned by last October, only to be forced to flee again.

Israeli attacks during these 14 months caused widespread destruction to homes and infrastructure. The World Bank estimated damage to residential buildings alone at approximately $2.8bn. About 99,000 homes were damaged or destroyed, leaving many families unable to return even after the ceasefire.
