Title: Tense Night in Western and Central Sector Villages as Displacement Crisis Worsens

The villages in the western and central sectors experienced a cautious and tense night, marked by the firing of illuminating bombs and Israeli reconnaissance aircraft flying over the villages of the Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts. At dawn, the Israeli army directed heavy machine gun fire towards the outskirts of the town of Aita al-Shaab from its positions adjacent to the town of Berket Risha. The displacement crisis is worsening as the number of displaced people rises, with the Israeli army adopting a scorched earth policy and targeting civilians, inhabited homes, and threatening local residents, ambulances, and journalists. Many adjacent villages are nearly empty of residents, while the assaults have caused significant damage to property, crops, and infrastructure, especially the electricity and water networks.
