Israel Orders Evacuations in Southern Lebanon Villages

BEIRUT, September 18, 2025 — The ‘Israeli’ military has issued urgent evacuation orders for several villages in southern Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of using civilian buildings for military purposes.

The move has raised fears of a large-scale assault on Lebanese territory, with human rights groups warning that such orders could amount to forced displacement under international law.

The Lebanese government is expected to release an official response as tensions heighten along the border.
