Overview
- The Israeli military told residents of 11 towns in southern Lebanon to leave their homes and move at least 1,000 meters to open areas on Sunday.
- Israel said Hezbollah violated the April 17 ceasefire and said it would act forcefully, warning that anyone near Hezbollah fighters or facilities could be at risk.
- Israeli strikes continued after the warnings, with Al Jazeera Arabic reporting artillery on the outskirts of Zawtar al‑Sharqiya and Mayfadoun.
- Hezbollah has kept up drone and rocket attacks on Israeli troops and northern Israel, and recent drone strikes killed two soldiers and an army contractor, according to Al Jazeera.
- Some targeted towns lie north of the Litani River, and reporting describes ongoing Israeli operations and a narrow occupied strip in the south, raising new displacement and safety risks for civilians.
