The IDF is calling on Lebanese civilians in more than two dozen villages and towns in southern Lebanon to evacuate immediately, and head north of the Awali River.
In recent days, the military has called on dozens of locales in southern Lebanon, including those north of the Litani River, to evacuate.
The IDF says it will update the civilians when it is safe to return.
The evacuations come amid Israeli ground operations in southern Lebanon, which the military has described as “limited, localized, and targeted raids,” with the goal of demolishing Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the border area.
Officials have said that the military intends for the operations to end as quickly as possible.
