The IDF Arabic-language spokesperson issued an evacuation warning Wednesday afternoon for residents of the village of al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, instructing them to move at least 1,000 meters away from the village. The warning stated that anyone found near Hezbollah operatives, infrastructure, or weapons endangers their life, as the military continues to operate against the group following reported ceasefire violations.
At 15:45 Jerusalem, the IDF Arabic-language spokesperson issued an evacuation warning for the village of al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, instructing residents to move at least 1,000 meters from the village and to avoid any proximity to Hezbollah operatives, infrastructure, or weapons. The warning follows airstrikes reported earlier today and is the latest in a series of similar notices the military has issued to dozens of villages in southern Lebanon over recent weeks, as part of a campaign to pressure Hezbollah and prevent the group from re-establishing a military presence near the border.
Earlier, at 15:39 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published two reports on the same development. The first, citing IDF Arabic-language spokeswoman Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, called on residents of al-Mansouri to evacuate at least one kilometer north, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire. The second report, citing the IDF Arabic spokesperson, confirmed that fighter jets had struck targets in the area and that the military intends to operate forcefully against the terror group. The warnings have repeatedly cited Hezbollah's ceasefire violations as the justification.
The evacuation notice for al-Mansouri is part of a broader pattern. As The Zioneer reported on June 14, the IDF expanded evacuation warnings northward to 29 villages in southern Lebanon, including al-Mansouri, in response to Hezbollah's continued violations. On June 19, the Home Front Command warned northern Israeli residents of a complex night of Hezbollah violations. Hezbollah has warned of a proportionate response to Israeli operations and has vowed to return to border villages despite the Lebanese army's presence.
The specific trigger for today's warning remains unclear, and Hezbollah has not yet issued a formal response to the evacuation order. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of violating the ceasefire.
