The Israeli army's Arabic-language spokesperson told residents of Ghassaniyeh and Houmine al-Faouqa to move at least one kilometre away, and minutes later ordered Ansarieh evacuated north of the Zahrani River, citing Hezbollah ceasefire violations.
Why it matters
The warnings pushed Israel's evacuation zone north from Tyre toward Sidon, where an Israeli strike hit the city centre that afternoon.
