Lebanese military attempts to evacuate displaced people from a Beirut building

The Lebanese military attempts to evacuate around 400 displaced people from the Bekaa, Beirut's southern suburbs, and the South, who had been sheltering in an empty building in Hamra, Beirut. The group was initially allowed to stay there with the landlord's permission, but the owner later reclaimed the property. The army is now intervening, proposing to relocate the displaced individuals to an empty medical facility in Sabra. However, this solution is met with reluctance due to the proximity to Beirut's southern suburbs, which have been heavily bombarded in recent weeks.
