Southern Lebanon Residents Urged to Evacuate Amid Hezbollah Tensions

Residents in southern Lebanon are receiving calls instructing them to stay 1,000 metres away from Hezbollah posts. These warnings, corroborated by the Israeli military, are being disseminated widely in Arabic across various networks and platforms in Lebanon.

Residents of southern Lebanon received calls from a Lebanese number ordering them to immediately distance themselves 1,000 metres from any post used by Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, a Reuters reporter in the south said.

The Reuters reporter received the call. In a televised statement earlier, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari issued a similar warning and said it was being "distributed in Arabic on all networks and platforms in Lebanon".
