  • 'Israeli' military has ordered the immediate evacuation of three southern Lebanese towns, Harouf, Burj Al-Shamali, Dibal.
  • Residents were ordered to clear a minimum distance of 1,000 meters into open areas.

The 'Israeli' military has issued an immediate evacuation directive for residents living in three specific towns across southern Lebanon.

The high-alert warning, published Monday by Arabic-language military spokesperson Avichay Adraee, signals an imminent surge in heavy airstrikes and localized ground actions in the sector, threatening to completely unravel the fragile regional ceasefire.

The urgent notice commands all remaining civilians in the villages of Harouf, Burj Al-Shamali, and Dibal to abandon their homes without delay.

Adraee stated that the 'Israeli' military are compelled to act "forcefully" in these sectors, explicitly citing what the military characterized as persistent violations of the active truce agreement by Hezbollah.

1,000-meter buffer zone

The operational warning emphasizes that civilians must distance themselves from built-up municipal borders, routing population movements toward unpopulated perimeters.

 

The 'Israeli' military announced it struck over 30 Hezbollah infrastructure sites -claiming it targeted weapons depots and observation posts- and eliminated several operatives over the past 24 hours to neutralize ongoing threats against its soldiers and civilians in southern Lebanon.
