For the first time: Hezbollah expands range of fire, IDF announces evacuation of villages
Following Hezbollah rocket fire to the Lower Galilee region, IDF Arabic spokesman Colonel Avichay Adraee issued an evacuation warning for several villages in Lebanon
Assessment
Hezbollah has extended its rocket range into the Lower Galilee, a significant escalation that directly threatens new population centers in Israel. In response, the IDF issued evacuation warnings for specific Lebanese villages, signaling a potential shift from targeted strikes to broader operations. The move tests Israel's deterrence and may force a recalculation of military strategy along the northern border.
