‘Israel’ military forces on Monday issued urgent evacuation orders for residents in several southern Lebanese villages, amid heavy surveillance flights monitoring the evacuations.

The warnings targeted areas in the towns of Annan, Hammara, Kfar Hatta, and Ain al-Tineh. The military released maps marking sites designated for imminent strikes, prompting panic and rapid displacement among civilians.

Reason for escalation

‘Israel’ claimed the alerts came after monitoring alleged efforts to rebuild military infrastructure linked to Hezbollah in the region. The military statement said upcoming strikes aim to prevent “prohibited attempts” to restore offensive capabilities. Civilians were instructed to stay at least 300 meters away from potential target sites.

Humanitarian impact

Reporters on the ground confirmed a wave of forced displacement following the sudden warnings, as reconnaissance aircraft circled overhead to oversee evacuations. Observers warn the threats signal a return to high-tension conditions, raising fears that attacks could extend to nearby populated areas and putting existing ceasefire agreements at risk.
