Israel Orders More Residents of Southern Lebanon to Flee Homes or Face Death

HeadlineApr 28, 2026

Israel’s military has launched attacks across southern Lebanon, after it issued new warnings to residents to evacuate more than a dozen villages and towns and travel northward immediately or face death. It’s the latest violation of Israel’s ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, which was officially extended last Thursday. On Monday, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem issued a statement condemning the Lebanese government’s direct talks with Israel, citing Israel’s occupation of Lebanon’s southern territories and its persistent attacks. In response, Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to “burn Hezbollah and all of Lebanon.”
