Israel orders evacuation of residents in 16 towns and villages in Lebanon

The Israeli military has issued an urgent evacuation order for residents of 16 towns and villages in southern Lebanon ahead of planned airstrikes. This warning comes amid escalating attacks in Lebanon, with recent clashes resulting in at least 50 fatalities and 335 injuries. In response to Israeli military actions, Hezbollah has targeted sites in northern Israel, prompting Israel to declare an “offensive battle” against the group. The ongoing conflict has already claimed over 4,000 lives since its escalation in October 2023.
