The Israeli army has issued a new wave of enforced displacement orders for at least eight towns in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

“For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move to the north of the Awali River. To ensure your safety, you must evacuate without delay,” a spokesperson said on X.

Civilians are prohibited from heading south, it added.

Hundreds of villages in the country’s south have been evacuated for an area that the UN estimates covers a quarter of Lebanon’s territory.
