TEL AVIV (AFP) – The Israeli military on Thursday expanded its evacuation warning for residents in southern Lebanon to include an area north of the Litani River, saying it would operate against Hezbollah there.
“Urgent warning to residents of southern Lebanon. The terrorist activities of Hezbollah are forcing the IDF to act strongly against it,” the military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X.
“Any building used by Hezbollah for military purposes may become a target,” he said, adding that “residents of southern Lebanon must move immediately north of the Zahrani River,” which is located some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Israeli border.
