JERUSALEM
Israel’s military warned on Monday it would soon strike Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, issuing evacuation warnings for buildings in two villages.
The army “will, in the near future, strike military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, in response to its prohibited attempts to rebuild its activities in the area,” its Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee wrote on X, telling residents of certain buildings in Kfar Tibnit and Ain Qana “to evacuate them immediately.”
A convoy of Syrian government security forces moved toward the Kurdish-controlled city of Hasakah in the northeast on Monday, Reuters witnesses said, deploying under a US-backed ceasefire deal that foresees the Kurdish-run regions being merged with Damascus.
The deal, declared on Friday, has staved off further conflict between President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which lost swathes of eastern and northern Syria to government troops in January.
The convoy of more than 20 interior ministry vehicles began moving toward Hasakah city from its outskirts in the early afternoon.
