The IDF warned residents of the southern Lebanese village of Al-Mansouri to evacuate immediately, citing planned operations against Hezbollah positions that it accuses of violating the ceasefire. The military instructed residents to move at least 1,000 meters north into open areas and warned that anyone near Hezbollah personnel or equipment is putting their life at risk.
The IDF this afternoon (Wed 15:39 Jerusalem) issued an urgent evacuation warning for the southern Lebanese village of Al-Mansouri, instructing residents to move at least 1,000 meters north into open areas as the military prepares to operate against Hezbollah positions. The warning, published by the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, accuses Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire agreement and states that anyone near Hezbollah personnel, facilities, or equipment is endangering their lives. This is the latest in a series of updates on the village, which began at 15:39 Jerusalem with the initial warning and continued with additional details on the evacuation distance and the role of the Lebanese army.
At 15:39 Jerusalem, the IDF issued the initial evacuation order for Al-Mansouri, citing Hezbollah ceasefire violations. Within minutes, a further update specified that residents must evacuate 1,000 meters from the village and avoid any proximity to Hezbollah operatives or infrastructure. A subsequent update at the same time stated that the IDF Arabic spokesperson had called on residents to evacuate due to Hezbollah's violations. Later, at 16:10 Jerusalem, the IDF accused the Lebanese army of violating the ceasefire by establishing a checkpoint in Al-Mansouri, stating that the village lies within the security zone where military operations continue and that civilians had arrived under the cover of the Lebanese army.
Hezbollah formally rejected the US-brokered ceasefire terms in June 2026, as The Zioneer reported. The IDF has since conducted a series of evacuation warnings and strikes in southern Lebanon, expanding to 29 villages in June. The current warning for Al-Mansouri is part of ongoing enforcement actions against what the IDF describes as ceasefire violations by Hezbollah, with the northern front remaining volatile.
It remains unclear whether the Lebanese army has responded to the IDF's accusation regarding the checkpoint, and whether the evacuation order is being carried out by residents. The situation on the ground is still developing.
