Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee has ordered residents living in the villages and towns of East Zotar, West Zotar, Arnoun, Yahmar and al-Qasiba in southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes, Al Jazeera reports.

Claiming without evidence that these towns are hosting Hezbollah, he said the Israeli army would be operating against them shortly.

He also warned residents against moving south, saying it “could be dangerous to your life”.
