Israel’s military has issued warnings of imminent attacks for the Lebanese towns of Mlikh and Kfarhounah, telling their residents to immediately flee their homes, Al Jazeera reports.

In an Arabic-language post on social media, the Israeli military warned it would soon “act forcefully” in the areas against Hezbollah.

It said residents of the two towns should “immediately evacuate” their homes and “move at least 1,000 metres [0.6 miles] away from the villages and towns to open areas”.
