Israel Expands Its Bombardment in Lebanon as Thousands Flee Widening War

MASNAA BORDER CROSSING, Lebanon (AP) — Israel is expanding its bombardment of the Hezbollah and Hamas militant groups in Lebanon, hitting Beirut’s southern suburbs with a dozen airstrikes and striking a Palestinian refugee camp deep in the north for the first time. Hamas says two members of its military wing there have been killed. Thousands of people in Lebanon continue to flee the widening conflict in the region. Meanwhile, rallies are being held around the world marking the approaching anniversary of the war in Gaza. Palestinians along a key corridor there are facing a new Israeli evacuation order as deadly airstrikes continue.
