| No. It is Lebanon attacking Israel that resulted in Israel's self defense actions that resulted in the displacement. The displacement is due to Israel's warning to civilians to leave the area of fighting for their protection as it is required to do by international law. Lebanon is firing rockets into Israeli civilian population daily, this is a war crime.

| Is Israel firing into Christian neighborhoods? I think I saw something saying they were not. That seems consistent with Israel’s strikes being intended to target Hezbollah specifically (because Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel at the outset of the military operation in Iran). |

Pierre al-Rahi, … was killed in this village in southern Lebanon during an Israeli artillery tank fire on a house March 9, 2026 … al-Rahi had earlier refused, along with other priests, to obey an order by the Israeli military to evacuate the Christian village of Qlayaa” https://www.ncronline.org/news/lebanese-maronite-catholic-pr... | | |
| ▲ | YZF 40 minutes ago | parent [-] | | That's an exception that proves the rule. For the most part Israel is not firing at either Sunni or Christian villages. There is also more to this specific incident so people should research it. |

| And they are also using humans as shield? Is it only the enemies of Israel that use human shields or do criminals/terrorists in Israel (if there is such a thing) or any other country do that too? |

| ▲ | YZF 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm not sure how we got to the human shield conversation but Hezbollah is firing from within civilian areas if that's the question:
https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-891166 As to what's common between Hezbollah and Hamas and Iran in the way they treat their civilians I will leave that as an exercise to the reader. |

| > The displacement is due to Israel's warning to civilians to leave the area of fighting for their protection Most modern instances of ethnic cleansing are justified as military necessities. E.g.: Armenian genocide “Article 1—During war time, army and corp commanders and their deputies and commanders of fortified posts are obliged to destroy any assault or resistance and violently restore order with military forces in the case of opposition, armed attacks or resistance directed against the government orders, the defense of homeland and the preservation of public order. Article 2—Army, independent corp and division commanders are allowed to transfer and relocate the village and town population in matters related to the military affair or if they feel there is an activity of espionage and treason.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary_Law_of_Deportation |

| ▲ | YZF 38 minutes ago | parent [-] | | You can't have it both ways though. If Israel fires back at Hezbollah and civilians are killed then it is committing war crimes and if it asks the civilians to leave then it is committing war crimes. In previous wars in Lebanon civilians were asked to leave and then eventually returned and so there are numerous similar examples where Israel's instructions and the situation was similar and there was no ethnic cleansing. |

| Interesting, based on your comment Hezbollah did that from Lebanese territories for no reason. "Lebanese armed group Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel in response to the United States-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli forces have also launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/5/at-least-14-people-k... > Israel's self defense actions > this is a war crime Wow-wow just stop that bs. Without israel that region would be much safer. |

| ▲ | YZF 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Last I checked Lebanon was a separate country. So Lebanon decided to join the war against the US and Israel and now the consequences of that are Israel's fault? Wow-wow just stop that bs. Without Israel people in the region would be murdering each other just like they did in Syria, in the Iran-Iraq war, in Yemen, in Lebanon's civil war etc. Maybe if those countries stopped attacking Israel they wouldn't be in war Mr. warmonger. EDIT: It's worth mentioning that an attack on another country is not a legal reason according to international law to attack a third country. The critics of Israel and the US are claiming those started an "illegal war" on Iran so by that same rationale Lebanon started an illegal war on Israel. | | |
