Israel-Hezbollah Cross-Border Violence Displaces 20,000 in Southern Lebanon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations warns nearly 20,000 people across southern Lebanon
have fled their homes amid escalating violence on the Lebanese-Israeli
border. On Monday the Biden administration said it's readying plans to
evacuate hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens across the broader
Middle East in case Israel's assault on Gaza provokes a wider war -
including 600,000 Americans in Israel and another 86,000 in Lebanon.
