CWN Editor's Note: Exchanges of fire between Iran-backed militia groups and Israeli forces have forced thousands of people to abandon their homes in southern Lebanon, Vatican News reports.

More than 80,000 Lebanese have been displaced by the fighting in the months since the outbreak of open warfare in Gaza last October. Raids and shelling in southern Lebanon have now become “almost daily.”
