Israel strikes south Lebanon following expulsion orders The Israeli army struck several towns in southern Lebanon after it issued expulsion orders for 20 locations, including the city of Nabatieh. The state-run National News Agency said Israeli air strikes hit several areas covered by the order, including Nabatieh and nearby villages of Rihan and Sujud. The Israeli army ordered residents to leave their homes "immediately and move to the north of the Zahrani River", around 45 kilometres from the southern border with Israel.
