The IDF reiterates its wide-scale evacuation warning for southern Lebanon, as the fighting against Hezbollah continues despite the ceasefire in Iran.
“The campaign in Lebanon continues, and the ceasefire does not include Lebanon. For your safety, we once again urge you to evacuate your homes immediately and move immediately to the north of the Zahrani River,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee on X.
The IDF has repeated this warning numerous times in recent weeks.
