Israel orders 2,000 Lebanese to leave their homes

Israel orders 2,000 residents of Lebanese communities near the border to leave and head north, AP writes.

The call was published in Arabic on X by the Israeli army spokesperson. The 20 or so communities that they want civilians to leave are south of the Awali River, about 60 kilometers from the border.

In the past, Israel's army has urged residents closer to the border to leave the area. At the time, civilians were not to cross the Litani River, 30 kilometers from the border. Now they have extended the distance that they want civilians to avoid.

Israeli army warns civilians to cross river

The Israeli army warns civilians against driving vehicles south of the Litani River. "There is intense fighting in southern Lebanon," writes IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee in Arabic on X.

The warning applies until further notice. According to the IDF, civilians are being used as human shields by Hezbollah to carry out attacks against Israeli soldiers.

Hezbollah has stated that it shelled Israeli soldiers with artillery in northern Israel, partly at Avivim, partly at Metula.

According to the Lebanese news agency NAA, Israeli shelling against the southern parts of the country has caused widespread destruction. Shops, private property and fields have been destroyed by artillery, machine gun fire and airstrikes.
