Narrative

A spokesperson for the Israeli military issued a separate evacuation warning just after 2:00 a.m. local time for areas around a building in another town in southern Lebanon where it said it would strike Hezbollah facilities. Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed more than 4,300 people since Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel on March 2 — two days after the start of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran — triggering an Israeli air and ground offensive. The ceasefire saw violence decrease dramatically, but Israeli troops occupying swathes of southern Lebanon have continued razing villages in the self-declared security zone.
