The Israeli army called in a statement, today, Sunday, on the residents of 5 towns in southern Lebanon to evacuate them in preparation for bombing them, warning the residents against heading south.

The five towns are: East Zawtar, West Zawtar, Arnoun, Yahmor, and Al-Qasiba.

The Israeli army said: "You must evacuate your homes immediately and move to the north of the Awali River. To ensure your safety, you must evacuate without delay. Anyone who is near Hezbollah elements, installations or weapons is putting his life in danger."

The Israeli army also said in a separate statement that sirens sounded in central Israel due to rockets fired from Lebanon.

The army added that it had detected 6 missiles crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory, and said that its air forces intercepted 5 of them, and the last one fell in an open area.
