Jerusalem: (Right Now News) The Israeli military has declared a 40-kilometer area north of the Lebanon-Israel border a war zone. Residents have been instructed to evacuate immediately.

According to media reports, the Israeli forces have advised residents to relocate to areas north of the river. This move could further escalate tensions in the region.

Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee justified the decision in a post on X, stating it was made to ensure public safety.

This announcement threatens the ceasefire agreement brokered by Washington. Despite the agreement, ground skirmishes continue, potentially worsening the situation.

It is noteworthy that recent tensions have persisted since the ceasefire agreement was reached forty days ago. Ground clashes between Israel and Lebanon are increasing.
