But these departures have been rare, especially compared to Trump's first term.

Numerous reports suggest Trump may want to push others out soon.

Talcott suggested he would need to move quickly.

In his address this week, Trump listed four objectives in the war.

Destroy Iran's missiles capabilities, annihilate its navy, prevent a nuclear bomb, and quote, crush their ability to support proxies in the region.

Iran's most powerful proxy is Hezbollah, a militia based in Lebanon.

Early on, they fired rockets into neighboring Israel after Iran's supreme leader was assassinated.

And since then, Lebanon has absorbed near-daily strikes from the IDF.

It has become one of the bloodiest conflict zones of the war.

And it's a battle the U.S.

has largely kept out of.

NPR's Lauren Frayer spoke to us from Lebanon's capital, Beirut.

She told us that even if Trump follows through on his promises to end the war soon, it might have sparked a more lasting conflict nearby.

Israel warned residents to evacuate southern Lebanon and have pledged to destroy all Lebanese homes near the border.

They've also promised to maintain control over parts of the country even after the war ends.

The bombardment has resulted in one of the largest and fastest displacements in Lebanon's history.

More than a million people have left their homes.

That's close to a fifth of the population.

Freyer told us that makeshift shelters have begun popping up across the country.

The operation has drawn international condemnation.
