The IDF issued an urgent evacuation warning for the southern Lebanese village of Al-Mansouri, the first such warning since June, citing Hezbollah ceasefire violations. IDF fighter jets struck Hezbollah targets in the area earlier today, and the military instructed residents to evacuate at least 1 kilometer north, warning that anyone near Hezbollah operatives endangers their life.
The IDF issued the first evacuation warning for a southern Lebanese village since June, ordering residents of Al-Mansouri to leave immediately. Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, the IDF's Arabic spokesperson, cited Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire agreement as the reason for the military's planned action, instructing residents to move at least 1,000 meters north of the village.
Earlier today, Israeli fighter jets struck Hezbollah targets in the area, according to the IDF. The military said it was compelled to operate against Hezbollah after the group violated the ceasefire.
A military source later briefed that Al-Mansouri lies within the IDF-controlled security zone, and that the evacuation was aimed at protecting civilians. The source noted that the Lebanese army had set up a checkpoint in the area, in violation of the ceasefire agreements.
The Jerusalem Post reported that this is the first evacuation warning since June, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing confrontation with Hezbollah.
