Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced to flee their homes in southern Lebanon following intensified Israeli evacuation orders and airstrikes.
In Tyre, resident Jamal Salim Farran says he refuses to leave despite repeated bombings that have destroyed homes and displaced families.
He describes sudden overnight strikes hitting residential areas without warning, leaving devastation in their wake. Despite losing his own apartments, he insists on staying, saying he has nowhere else to go.
As the conflict escalates, many civilians remain caught in the crossfire, facing destruction, displacement, and uncertainty.
