The Israeli military has warned residents of the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh to evacuate ahead of planned strikes in the area, AFP reports.

“In light of the Hezbollah terrorist organisation’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is compelled to act against it with force,” the military’s Arabic-language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee, posted on X.

“For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move north of the Zahrani River.”
