Israeli army orders evacuations of 10 Lebanon villages ahead of strikes
The Israeli military has warned residents of 10 villages in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh and Jezzine districts to evacuate ahead of what it described as imminent strikes.
In a post on X, Arabic-language military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said the warning applied to residents of Al-Nabatieh Al-Tahta, Al-Louizeh, Sajd, Ain Qana, Harouf, Zibdin, Kfar Reman, Al-Duwayr, Adshit Al-Shaqif and Maydun.
The warning came as Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that three people were killed in separate Israeli drone strikes targeting vehicles on the Kfar Rumman–Jarmaq highway and the Jarmaq–Khardali road in the Nabatieh area.
