- 'Israeli' army issued a "red alert" evacuation order on Sunday morning for 11 villages in southern Lebanon.
Avichay Adraee, the 'Israeli' Occupation Forces (IOF) Arabic-language spokesperson, posted a directive on X on Sunday, ordering residents in a specific cluster of southern Lebanese towns to "evacuate your homes immediately."
The warning follows several days of deteriorating stability in the April 2026 ceasefire. The IOF claimed that because Hezbollah has "violated the agreement," the military is now "compelled to act against it forcefully."
