Tensions are rising as Israel’s army carries out near-daily attacks on Lebanon in violation of 2024 Hezbollah ceasefire.

In a social media post on Thursday, Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee told residents of the village of Sohmor to leave their homes ahead of a planned strike on a building he claimed contained “Hezbollah military infrastructure”.
