Israel Issues Evacuation Warnings North of Litani, Kills 7 in Strikes on Tyre
Israel's military warned residents of three villages north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon to evacuate on Friday as strikes overnight in the south Lebanon city of Tyre killed seven people. "For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move away from the villages and towns by at least 1,000 meters into open areas. Anyone who is near Hezbollah operatives, their facilities, or their weapons endangers their life!" the army's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X. Overnight, Israeli strikes in the south Lebanon city of Tyre killed seven people, a source from Lebanon's civil defense told AFP, despite a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war. One strike near the Jabal Amel hospital killed four people, wounded seven and lightly damaged the facility, while another elsewhere in the city killed three and wounded five, including two children. Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem on Thursday rejected a conditional truce announced by Lebanese and Israeli envoys, demanding a comprehensive ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal instead as he threatened northern Israel with new attacks.
