Hezbollah’s one-minute video is its first forced evacuation orders to residents of northern Israel, Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari reports from Beirut, Lebanon.

Now, these warnings are for 25 settlements located in the northern part of Israel, ranging from 3 kilometres to 22km from the border with Lebanon and this area is home to about 200,000 Israeli citizens.

This is a tactic that we’ve seen the Israeli military use in and around the southern suburbs of Beirut and other parts of Lebanon. And now, Hezbollah is using the same tactic for the first time to warn about their attacks.

This is being seen as another level in this new escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
