Hezbollah orders evacuation of 25 Israeli settlements in north

Hezbollah issued an evacuation order yesterday evening for Israeli settlers in 25 northern settlements, mirroring the occupation forces’ actions in Lebanon. The move follows widespread Israeli evacuation orders targeting areas including Beirut’s Southern Suburb, Southern Lebanon, the Bekaa, and parts of Tyre, with claims of Hezbollah military presence in civilian homes.

Hezbollah stated that the settlements had become military outposts for Israeli forces attacking Lebanon, making them “legitimate military targets” for its air and missile forces. Settlers were told to “evacuate immediately,” as their settlements had become bases for the enemy military. A video issued by Hezbollah’s Military Media reiterated this warning.

The evacuation order named settlements such as Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya, Rosh Pina, and Katzrin. In response, municipal councils in the northern settlements decided against reopening schools, opting instead to continue education online.

Hezbollah also announced a record 48 military operations against Israel on Friday, surpassing the previous high of 39 earlier in the week, in what it described as a coordinated series of missile and drone attacks. These included successful strikes on six Merkava tanks, a Hummer military vehicle, and several bases.
