Israel’s military on Monday warned residents of 10 villages, most of them in southern Lebanon, to evacuate their homes ahead of expected strikes against alleged Hezbollah targets.
“In light of Hezbollah’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the Israel Defence Forces are compelled to operate against it with force,” the military’s Arabic-language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee, said in a social media post, listing the names of the villages.
“For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move at least 1,000 metres away from these towns and villages to open areas.”
At least 18 people were killed and several wounded in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday in the latest violations of a ceasefire.
