The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have expanded their ground incursion in southern Lebanon by issuing evacuation orders for an additional 25 villages. This move brings the total number of villages issued evacuation notices to 76 since Tuesday.
On Thursday, IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee revealed the names of the 25 new villages, which are located deeper into Lebanon, reaching up to 45 kilometers (28 miles) inside the country. Lebanese citizens residing in these areas have been urged to evacuate their homes immediately and relocate to the north of the Awali River for their safety.
