Israel’s occupation forces issued an urgent warning on Tuesday to residents in more than a dozen villages and towns in southern Lebanon, urging them to evacuate northward immediately and signaling an imminent attack.
The warning said the action was necessary due to the Hezbollah group’s violation of a ceasefire agreement with Israel, Reuters reported.
Israel’s army expanded strikes on Lebanon on Monday, where authorities reported four dead despite a ceasefire.
Israel struck more than 20 Hezbollah “infrastructure sites” in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley and the country’s south, including weapons storage facilities and rocket launch sites.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said direct talks with Israel sought to end the Israel-Hezbollah war and that those who dragged Lebanon into it were the ones committing “treason” — a jab at the Iran-backed group, which claimed several attacks on Israeli targets in south Lebanon on Monday.
