The Israeli military issued an ‌urgent warning on Sunday to residents of 11 towns and villages in ​southern Lebanon, urging them to ​evacuate their homes and move ⁠at least 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) ​away to open areas.

The military said ​it was conducting operations against Hezbollah following what it described as a ​violation of their ceasefire agreement, ​warning that anyone near Hezbollah fighters or ‌facilities ⁠could be at risk.

Israel has continued to carry out strikes across southern Lebanon, and its troops ​are occupying ​a ⁠strip of the country's south, destroying homes they ​describe as infrastructure being used ​by ⁠Hezbollah.

The Iran-backed militant group has kept up its drone and ⁠rocket ​attacks against Israeli troops ​in Lebanon and on northern Israel.
