Israeli Military Orders Evacuation of All Southern Lebanon for First Time Since Ceasefire
The Israeli military has issued an evacuation order for the entire southern region of Lebanon. This marks the first time that such an order has been issued for all of southern Lebanon since the ceasefire with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group.
On the 27th (local time), the Israeli military announced in a statement that residents of southern Lebanon should evacuate north of the Zaherani River. The Israeli military warned, "All areas south of the river will be considered combat zones."
Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesperson, urged residents of southern Lebanon to stay away from Hezbollah operatives, facilities, and military equipment. He claimed that the Israeli military does not intend to harm civilians.
In recent days, the Israeli military had issued localized evacuation orders for some cities and towns in southern Lebanon. However, this is the first time an evacuation order has been issued for all of southern Lebanon since the ceasefire took effect in mid-April.
