The Israeli military issued the forced displacement orders for the residents of Meiss el-Jabal, Yanouh, Borj El Chmali, Hula, Debl, and Aabbasiyyeh warning that it will soon act against the southern Lebanese towns and villages “forcefully”, Al Jazeera reports.

Anyone who remains “endangers their life,” the military said, warning residents to move at least 1,000 metres (0.6 of a mile) away to “open areas”.
