Israel Expands Ground Invasion in Southern Lebanon, Displacing Nearly One Million People

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered an expanded ground invasion of southern Lebanon on March 30, 2026, with the army pushing toward the Litani River and opening a new front in the Bekaa Valley, displacing nearly one million people and drawing international condemnation.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the expansion of ground military invasion operations in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Forces deployed additional troops to southern Lebanon with the objective of establishing a buffer zone reaching the Litani River.

At the same time, Israeli military forces opened a new front line in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah's important supply routes.

Since the war's outbreak, more than 1,200 people have been killed in Lebanon, including journalists and medical workers. The fighting has also displaced nearly one million people, accounting for roughly 20 percent of Lebanon's total population.

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom issued a joint statement calling on Israel to avoid further military expansion operations.

Analysts point out that this invasion has triggered a severe humanitarian crisis, with the international community widely expressing deep concern.
