IDF issues evacuation order for south Lebanon’s Tyre, Hezbollah clash with Israeli troops
JERUSALEM: The Israeli army issued an evacuation warning on Wednesday for residents of the city of Tyre in south Lebanon and the surrounding areas, saying it was about to strike Hezbollah targets there.
“Urgent warning to the residents of the city of Tyre and the surrounding camps and neighborhoods as shown on the map — In light of the terrorist Hezbollah organization violating the ceasefire agreement and targeting Israeli territory, the IDF is compelled to act forcefully against it,” Avichay Adraee, the Israeli army’s Arabic-language spokesperson, wrote on X, attaching a map of the Tyre region with some localities highlighted.
“The IDF does not intend to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately, according to the area shown on the map, and move north of the Zahrani River.”
Also on Wednesday, Hezbollah said its fighters clashed with Israeli forces in a town north of the Litani river on Wednesday, a day after Israel’s military said it was expanding its ground operations.
