The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it had started conducting strikes in southern Lebanon after accusing Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, of a cease-fire violation.
The military said it could not provide further details at the moment.
Both sides have accused each other of violating the cease-fire for weeks. Asked for comment, a Hezbollah spokesman said the Israeli statements were “false claims and pretexts.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, the Arabic-language spokeswoman of the Israeli military, directed the residents of Al-Mansouri, a village in southern Lebanon, to leave their homes.
“For your safety, you are urged to evacuate from Al-Mansouri immediately and move at least 1,000 meters away,” Colonel Waweya wrote in a social media post, adding, “Remaining in the vicinity of Hezbollah operatives, military infrastructure, or weapons places your life at risk.”
