Israel’s military has issued a fresh evacuation order for residents of south Lebanon as it presses on with its offensive, AFP reports.
“The airstrikes are ongoing as the Israel Defence Forces operate with significant force in the area. Therefore… we reiterate our urgent appeal for you to evacuate your homes immediately and head north of the Zahrani River,” it said in a statement.
It is the first evacuation order by the military since direct talks were held yesterday in Washington between Lebanon and Israel’s ambassadors to the United States.
