Thousands of families from southern Lebanon packed cars and minivans and headed toward Beirut on Monday to flee Israel's bombardment.
Thousands of families from southern Lebanon packed cars and minivans with suitcases, mattresses, blankets and carpets and jammed the highway heading north toward Beirut on Monday to flee the deadliest Israeli bombardment since 2006.
Some 100,000 people living near the border had already been displaced since October, when the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and Israeli forces began exchanging near-daily fire against the backdrop of the war in Gaza.
As the fighting intensifies, the number of evacuees is expected to rise.
