The Israeli military issued an evacuation order for residents of 13 villages in southern Lebanon ahead of planned strikes in the area. The warning was delivered by the military's Arabic-language spokesperson, who urged civilians to leave their homes immediately.

According to the statement, military action is being taken in response to activity by Hezbollah, and civilians were instructed to move at least 1,000 meters away from the villages to open areas outside them. The statement said that anyone near Hezbollah operatives, facilities, or weapons would be putting their life at risk.
