Israeli forces intensified operations across southern Lebanon and the western Bekaa on Wednesday, issuing new evacuation warnings to residents and carrying out a series of airstrikes and artillery attacks, as hostilities continued despite efforts to uphold a ceasefire agreement.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued an urgent warning to residents of the southern Lebanese towns of Ghassaniyeh, Houmine al-Fawqa and Ansariyeh, urging them to leave their homes immediately.

“In light of Hezbollah’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli military is compelled to act forcefully against it,” Adraee wrote on X.

“We do not intend to harm you. For your safety, you must immediately evacuate your homes and move at least 1,000 meters away from the villages and towns to open areas. Anyone who remains near Hezbollah operatives, facilities or military assets is putting their life at risk,” he added.

The warning came as military activity intensified across several areas of southern Lebanon.

In the border region, two rockets landed in the outskirts of the town of Qlayaa, sparking a fire, according to local reports.

An Israeli strike also targeted a motorcycle in the town of Tyre Debba, in the Tyre district. Preliminary reports indicated that one person was killed in the attack.

At dawn, Israeli warplanes struck Kfar Remman in the Nabatiyeh district before carrying out a second raid on the nearby town of Bnaafoul. The strikes were accompanied by low-altitude flights by Israeli fighter jets over southern Lebanon, Sidon and areas east of the coastal city.

Israeli aircraft later launched a series of additional airstrikes targeting Nabatiyeh, Zawtar, Kfar Tebnit and Habboush.

Overnight, Israeli artillery shelling struck the towns of Sohmor and Yohmor in the western Bekaa Valley.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it had expanded its operations against Hezbollah infrastructure across southern Lebanon.

Israeli army spokeswoman Ella Wawiya said on X that Israeli forces had attacked Hezbollah positions in the city of Tyre and several other locations in southern Lebanon over the previous 24 hours.

“In Tyre, six infrastructure sites used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to advance attacks against Israeli civilians and Israeli military forces operating in southern Lebanon were targeted,” she said.

According to Wawiya, one of the sites was used by Hezbollah operatives to launch suicide drones toward Israeli troops.

She added that Israeli forces also struck loaded rocket launchers that were prepared for immediate use, militants operating in areas where Israeli troops were active, and additional Hezbollah infrastructure elsewhere in southern Lebanon.
