The Israeli military has announced evacuation orders for areas south of the Zahrani River in southern Lebanon, declaring them combat zones. This action follows a period of heightened cross-border tensions and threats of further strikes against Hezbollah.

Lebanese health authorities report that since March 2, Israeli attacks have resulted in 3,269 fatalities. The evacuation orders are expected to affect a significant portion of the population in the designated southern regions.

Hezbollah has been engaged in ongoing exchanges of fire with Israeli forces. The military's declaration of combat zones and the accompanying evacuation orders suggest a potential intensification of the conflict in the coming days.
