The IDF Arabic-language spokesperson issued an urgent evacuation warning for residents of the village of Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, the first such warning since June. The IDF said Hezbollah violated the ceasefire, necessitating forceful action, and instructed residents to evacuate at least 1 kilometer north. A military source stated the evacuation was intended to protect civilians, but noted that the Lebanese army set up a checkpoint in the area in violation of the agreements. According to the Arab-affairs outlet Abu Ali Express, no strikes have been reported yet in Al-Mansouri despite the warning.
The IDF Arabic-language spokesperson, Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, issued an urgent evacuation warning for the village of Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon on Wednesday afternoon, the first such warning since June. The IDF stated that Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire agreement compelled military action against the group. Residents were instructed to evacuate at least 1 kilometer north of the village, with the warning that anyone near Hezbollah operatives, facilities, or weapons endangers their life.
A military source later briefed that Al-Mansouri lies within the IDF-controlled security zone where ongoing military activity endangers Lebanese civilians. The source said the evacuation was intended to protect them, and noted that the civilians arrived under the auspices of the Lebanese army, which set up a checkpoint in the area in violation of the ceasefire agreements.
According to the Arab-affairs outlet Abu Ali Express, no strikes have been reported in Al-Mansouri as of late afternoon, despite the evacuation warning. The outlet suggested that Israeli aircraft may have been halted mid-air after the IDF announced operations had begun. As The Zioneer reported earlier in the thread, the evacuation warning was preceded by strikes on Hezbollah targets in the area earlier in the day, though the status of strikes on the village itself remains unconfirmed.
