Israel extends evacuation order in Lebanon, bombs Lebanese uni

The Israeli military has expanded its illegal evacuation order to a large area of Lebanon north of the Litani river, towards the al-Zahrani river as far as Saida. The threat is forcing hundreds of thousands more civilians to flee, adding to the 700,000 forcibly displaced by the earlier expulsion order.

The mass displacement is comparable with demanding the evacuation of England from Birmingham to the south coast.

With its typical arrogance, the occupation is also demanding the evacuation of parts of densely-populated areas of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, with successive orders affecting adjacent areas of the city:

IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee posted the orders to X, demanding all residents evacuate ‘for their safety’:

#URGENT ‼️ Urgent Warning to Residents of Southern Lebanon

🔸Hezbollah’s terrorist activities are forcing the Defense Army to act against it forcefully, especially in your areas. The Defense Army does not intend to harm you.

🔴Out of concern for your safety, we direct this to all residents south of the Zahrani River – you must evacuate your homes immediately🔴

🔸Anyone near Hezbollah elements, their facilities, or their combat means is endangering their life.

🔸Any building used by Hezbollah for military purposes may become a target.

🔸O residents of southern Lebanon, you must move immediately to north of the Zahrani River.

🔸Attention: Any movement south may put your lives at risk

Following the pattern of its crimes in Gaza, Israel has included among its supposed resistance ‘targets’ the bombing of the Lebanese University in Beirut:

Israel has just bombed the Lebanese University.

They are repeating the Gaza genocide.

Among the victims of the bombing were Dean of Science Dr Hussain Bazzi and Dr Mortada Srour, also member of the school of science faculty.

Was the fact they were leading scientists in their field the reason they’ve been targeted?

Israel, from the tips of its invasive roots to the ends of its poisonous leaves, is a murderous terror state.
