In a significant development, the Israeli military has ordered the evacuation of Deir Ames, a town located in southern Lebanon, north of Israel's self-declared security zone.
The military announced on Friday that the evacuation is a preemptive measure ahead of planned strikes. This announcement comes just a day after Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks.
Israel accuses Hezbollah of conducting operations from the area, though no evidence or specifics on the timing of such activities were provided. The military warned that any militant actions from Deir Ames would trigger their response.
