Israel army says striking Hezbollah in south Lebanon
Israel's military said it launched strikes against Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon on Thursday, hours before U.S.-brokered talks between Lebanon and Israel were set to begin in Washington.
"The IDF has begun striking Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites in several areas in southern Lebanon," the military said after issuing evacuation warnings for a number of villages in south and east Lebanon.
The Israeli army had ordered the residents of Lebeya, Sohmor, Tefahta, Kfarmelki, Yohmor, Ein al-Tineh, Houmin al-Fawqa, and Mazraat Sinay to evacuate ahead of imminent strikes.
