Lebanese media reported on Wednesday that an Israeli strike hit a car in the town of Khalde, just south of the capital Beirut, as the Hezbollah terror group continued its attacks on Israeli troops and civilians despite a nominal ceasefire.

Additionally, two vehicles were reportedly targeted in the southern Lebanese town of Deir ez-Zahrani.

The state-run National News Agency reported strikes on around 20 locations in the country’s south.

A medical source in south Lebanon’s Tyre told AFP that two Israeli strikes on the Al-Hawsh area near the coastal city killed six people — four Syrian nationals and two Palestinians.

The reports came about an hour after the Israel Defense Forces issued evacuation warnings for three villages and towns in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah.

Residents of Arzay, Mazraat Kauthariyet al-Rez, and Zrariyeh were instructed to evacuate and head north of the Zahrani River.

“In light of the Hezbollah terror organization’s violations of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is forced to act against it with force and does not intend to harm you,” warned army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.

Later, the IDF issued evacuation warnings for three more villages and towns, urging residents of Jbaa, Houmine El Faouqa, and Arkey to evacuate at least a kilometer away.
