Lebanese Christian villages caught in Israel-Hezbollah war

Season 2026 Episode 55 | 7m 42s

The Israel Defense Forces issued evacuation orders for downtown Beirut ahead of airstrikes, as well as a second, sweeping evacuation order for southern Lebanon. That means around 10% of Lebanese territory is now subject to Israeli evacuation notices. This latest war has killed nearly 700 Lebanese and forced 800,000 more from their homes. Special correspondent Simona Foltyn reports from Beirut.
