Israel’s military has warned residents of 10 villages, most of them in southern Lebanon, to evacuate their homes ahead of expected strikes against alleged Hezbollah targets, AFP reports.

“In light of Hezbollah’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the Israel Defence Forces are compelled to operate against it with force,” the military’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Colonel Avichay Adraee, says in a social media post, listing the names of the villages.

“For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move at least 1,000 metres away from these towns and villages to open areas.”

Adraee has issued another evacuation warning directed at residents of a building in Rashidiyeh and two buildings in Burj al-Shamali, near the city of Tyre.

“We urge residents of the building marked in red on the attached map, as well as nearby buildings: you are located near a facility used by the Hezbollah terrorist organisation,” he writes on X.
