Displaced people fleeing Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon were taking shelter in a parking lot in the coastal city of Sidon on Sunday. Seated on the ground with his young child in his arms, Syrian refugee Zakaria, who fled the southern village of Ghandouriyeh, told Reuters that the most important thing he needed was shelter for his children. Lebanon's crisis response minister, Nasser Yassin, said that around 1 million Lebanese have been displaced by Israeli attacks, including hundreds of thousands, since fighting escalated between Hezbollah and Israeli forces Friday. Israel’s military continued strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon Sunday and announced the death of another high-ranking official with the Iran-backed militant group, days after Israel killed long-time Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Israel’s army Sunday said a strike killed Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Central Council on Saturday. A day earlier, Hezbollah confirmed that an Israeli strike in Beirut Friday killed Nasrallah. Amid the Israeli strikes, thousands of Lebanese continued to flee their homes with the Lebanese government saying that around 250,000 Lebanese are in shelters and up to 100,000 are staying with friends or relatives. https://www.voanews.com/a/israel-says-it-has-killed-another-high-ranking-hezbollah-official-in-an-airstrike/7803466.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
