On Sunday, Israel's military issued evacuation orders for residents in seven towns in southern Lebanon, citing security threats from the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which it accuses of violating a ceasefire. The towns are located north of the Litani River, beyond a buffer zone previously occupied by Israeli forces. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel's actions are focused on ensuring the safety of its citizens and soldiers. Despite a ceasefire mediated by the United States, hostilities have continued, with both sides exchanging fire. The ceasefire, which began on April 16 and was extended to mid-May, has not fully halted military operations, as evidenced by Israel intercepting drones aimed at its territory. The ongoing conflict has resulted in nearly 2,500 deaths since it escalated on March 2, following US and Israeli strikes against Iran.
