Military spokesperson Avichay Adraee released a detailed statement listing dozens of sites, urging civilians to move away from buildings and areas allegedly linked to Hezbollah infrastructure. The warnings covered large parts of southern Lebanon, a region Israel has repeatedly targeted in its campaign against Hezbollah positions.

Overnight and into Monday, Israel intensified air operations, bombarding Beirut’s southern suburbs widely regarded as Hezbollah strongholds along with dozens of villages across south Lebanon. Israeli officials said the strikes were in direct response to Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel, vowing to make the group pay a “heavy price.”

The escalation marks one of the most extensive rounds of evacuation warnings issued since hostilities flared along the Israel-Lebanon border. Analysts say the broadened scope of evacuation notices signals preparation for sustained or expanded ground and air operations.

Humanitarian agencies have expressed concern over the growing displacement of civilians in southern Lebanon, as families scramble to relocate amid repeated warnings and bombardment. Meanwhile, tensions remain high along Israel’s northern frontier, with fears that further retaliation could widen the regional conflict already linked to the broader confrontation involving Iran.
