Israel Orders New Evacuations in South Lebanon During Strained Ceasefire

The orders signal an expanding Israeli footprint under a fraying U.S.-brokered truce.

Overview

  • The Israeli military, which posted the orders Sunday, told residents in more than 10 villages to leave and move at least 1,000 meters away, including towns in Nabatieh north of the Litani River.
  • Lebanon’s Health Ministry said 20 people were killed in the past day, including a child and four paramedics, and 46 were wounded following Sunday’s strikes across the south.
  • Hezbollah said it carried out 11 operations against Israeli forces on Sunday, using rockets, missiles and drones, as cross‑border fire continued despite the mid‑April truce.
  • Reuters reported that sources inside Hezbollah say the group has lost several thousand fighters since March, a figure Hezbollah’s media office disputes, reflecting uncertainty over the true toll.
  • Israeli commanders are signaling a possible return to major operations in Gaza if Hamas refuses to disarm, a stance that could widen the conflict as troops and control lines shift under the current ceasefire framework.
