Israel has issued urgent evacuation orders across eleven towns in southern Lebanon, directing civilians to move beyond a 1,000-metre safety radius amid intensifying military operations. The Israel Defense Forces has warned of active “lethal zones” near positions linked to Hezbollah, citing immediate threats to civilian safety. The ongoing conflict has pushed the death toll beyond 2,500, with casualties rising amid relentless cross-border fire. Meanwhile, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has signaled readiness for a broader confrontation, accusing the United States of non-compliance and warning of potential renewed hostilities. The situation continues to escalate, raising fears of a wider regional conflict involving Iran and allied forces. WATCH

Hezbollah has claimed that it used a low-cost attack drone to target an Israeli armoured vehicle, including a Merkava tank, amid ongoing tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border. According to the group, the drone—reportedly costing just a few hundred dollars—successfully struck its target, highlighting the growing role of low-cost unmanned systems in modern conflict scenarios. The claims come as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continue to escalate, with both sides closely monitoring developments in southern Lebanon.
