The Israeli military has issued evacuation orders for residents in over two dozen villages in southern Lebanon, urging them to move approximately 30 miles into the country. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Arabic spokesperson emphasized the importance of immediate action, directing residents to relocate to the north of the Al-Awali River to ensure their safety.
The Al-Awali River, situated about 30 miles north of the affected villages, serves as the designated safe zone for evacuees. This directive comes in the midst of Israel's declared 'limited ground operation' and 'localized raids' in southern Lebanon, specifically targeting Hezbollah.
