JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military on Tuesday warned people to evacuate nearly two dozen Lebanese border communities hours after launching what it said was a limited ground incursion against the Hezbollah militant group.
The IDF says its troops have initiated "limited, localized and targeted raids" against Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon following a series of airstrikes that took out the group's leaders.
The Israeli military issued a wider evacuation zone for southern Lebanon on Thursday as its forces continue a ground operation against Hezbollah terrorists, officials said.
The Israeli military on Thursday warned people to evacuate a city and other communities in southern Lebanon that are north of a U.N.-declared buffer zone, signaling that it may widen a ground operation launched earlier this week against the Hezbollah militant group.
Israelis strikes in Lebanon have killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several of his top commanders. Hundreds more airstrikes across large parts of Lebanon since mid-September have killed more than 1,000 people.
Russia, France, Spain and Greece on Thursday became the latest countries to launch operations to remove nationals from Lebanon since Israel launched ground raids into its neighbour and Iran fired missiles at Israel.
