More than 667,000 people in Lebanon have been displaced as Israel launched air attacks on the country in an effort to target Hezbollah.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) released that figure for March 10. It’s based on the number of people who registered on the Lebanese government’s online displacement platform, and reflected an increase of 100,000 in one day.
