Israeli Military Orders Evacuation of Southern Lebanon Residents
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued an urgent evacuation order for residents in southern Lebanon, following a reported violation of a ceasefire agreement by Hezbollah. The announcement, made on May 3, 2026, at 10:46 US time, was conveyed through a statement from IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee. Residents of nine cities and villages – Qaq’a Al-Jisr, Adshiet Al-Shaqif, Jbeishit, Abba, Kfar Jouz, Harouf, Al-Dëeir, Deir Al-Zahrani and Habbous – are being instructed to relocate to open areas.
The IDF is maintaining a perimeter of at least 1,000 meters from these locations. According to Adraee, the action is a necessary response to Hezbollah’s breach of the ceasefire. “The Defense Forces are required to take strong action against them,” he stated on X.
“The Defense Forces have no intention of harming the residents.”
The evacuation order underscores the ongoing tensions in the region and highlights the IDF’s commitment to maintaining security in southern Lebanon. Authorities are working to ensure the safe relocation of affected residents.
