Dubai, Mar 12 (AP) Israel’s military has warned residents of a large area of southern Lebanon to leave their homes, saying it would act “forcefully” against Hezbollah.

The Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said on X that Lebanese residents should move north of the Zahrani River, which at its midpoint is about 56 kilometres away from the border with Israel.
