The Israeli army has announced a fresh wave of attacks targeting alleged positions of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, just hours after a so-called ceasefire was extended for another 45 days.
The development follows the army’s issuance of forced evacuation orders for nine towns in southern Lebanon.
Israeli air strikes have hit the towns of Kaouthariyet al-Saiyad and al-Ghassaniya, according to reports from journalists on the ground.
Earlier, the Israeli military had ordered residents to leave nine towns in the region, including the two targeted locations.
