Attacks on Lebanon by Israel continue as the state hunts and executes members of Hezbollah, as citizens suffer the most and become collateral damage.

In the latest iteration of Israel’s disregard of international law, it has ordered 23 towns in the Southern parts of Lebanon to evacuate.

These locations include those north of the Awali River, which runs from the western Bekaa Valley to the Mediterranean.

In its ‘war with Hezbollah’, Israeli is reportedly mass displacing thousands of people. The world bears witness as this message was also shared on social media platforms.

IDF spokesperson for the Arab Media, Avichay Adraee posted on X (Twitter) that Hezbollah’s operations push the army to intervene in these locations.

“The IDF has no intention of harming you. For your own safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move immediately to the north of the Awali River. To ensure your own safety, you must evacuate without delay,” he posted.

Adraee added that anyone who is around Hezbollah elements, facilities, or weaponry risks their life.

“You are prohibited from going south. Any movement south could be dangerous to your life. We will inform you in due time to return to your homes as soon as the conditions are right.”

An X user asked: “Why does Israel get to issue evacuation notices in another country? These are terrorism threats not notices.”
