The Israeli military has issued a new evacuation order for residents of two towns in southern Lebanon, Jabshit and Sarafand. According to the directive, civilians must immediately leave the area and move to open zones at least 1,000 meters away. The order was reported by Al Jazeera on May 5, 2026.

The Israeli military stated that anyone remaining in the area, particularly near Hezbollah members, facilities, or military activities, would be putting their lives at risk. The move comes amid ongoing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, where recent military actions and warnings have heightened fears of further escalation.

Observers expect that this latest evacuation order could further increase instability and tension in the border region, though no additional details were provided in the report.
