Oct 13, 2024, 05:24 PM

Hezbollah has issued evacuation orders and warnings to residents in northern Israel, including Haifa and Tiberias, to stay away from areas near military installations. The group claims that the Israeli army is using settlers' homes in these regions as gathering points for its officers and soldiers. Additionally, Hezbollah has stated that Israeli military bases conducting operations against Lebanon are located within these settlements. The displacement zone for Israel has been expanded from 5 km to over 30 km, potentially affecting a large number of civilians. Following a drone attack on a base south of Haifa, Hezbollah reiterated that Israeli civilians are being used as 'human shields' and emphasized that the evacuation orders are in effect 'until further notice.'
