The Israeli military warned residents of more than 20 towns and villages in southern Lebanon on Thursday to immediately evacuate their homes and move north as Israel continues its ground campaign against Hezbollah.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Arab spokesman Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee advised residents in a post at Platform X to move north of the Awali River to "save their lives." He warned that any move south would put them in danger.

"Hezbollah's activities compel the IDF to act against it with force," he wrote, adding that the IDF would notify them when it was safe to return home.

Adraee also issued a new evacuation order late Thursday for residents of the Burj al-Barajneh neighborhood in Beirut's southern suburbs, saying they were near "Hezbollah facilities and interests."
