The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday that four people were killed in an Israeli raid on a town in the east of the country. This was shortly before an Israeli army spokesman issued an ultimatum to evacuate it along with 11 other towns in the south.
The Ministry of Health reported that “the Israeli enemy’s raid on the town of Zalaya in the Western Bekaa led to four martyrs, including two women and an elderly man,” including the mayor and three members of his family, according to the official National News Agency.

After hours of warning, the Israeli army announced the start of raids on "Hezbollah infrastructure in several areas in southern Lebanon." He said in a brief statement: “The Israeli army began targeting infrastructure sites belonging to Hezbollah in several areas inside Lebanon.”
In this context, the Israeli army spokesman in Arabic, Avichai Adraee, published on the X platform the names of the towns in question, telling their residents: “For the sake of your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move away from villages and towns a distance of no less than 1,000 meters to open lands.”
Israel and Hezbollah exchange accusations of violating the ceasefire agreement. Israeli forces carry out large-scale demolition and bombing operations in border towns, while Hezbollah carries out operations targeting Israeli forces.
On Monday, Hezbollah announced a clash with Israeli forces in a border town in southern Lebanon, despite the truce. He added in a statement that he confronted an Israeli force that attempted to advance near the town of Deir Saryan, in the “yellow line” area.
According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, Israeli raids on Lebanon since March 2 have killed about 2,700 people and injured more than 8,200.
