Israel has issued a forced evacuation order to residents of seven villages in southern Lebanon, including Houmine al-Faouqa, Bnaafoul, Arab Salim, Roumine, Aazze, Arki and Jbaa, Al Jazeera reports.

The army’s Arabic language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, says in a post on X that residents must immediately move at least 1,000 metres away from the affected area because Israel plans to attack.
