Evacuations in Beirut: Israel warns of escalating fights!
Beirut, Libanon - The tensions in the Middle East continue to increase, especially on the border between Israel and Lebanon. In a dramatic step, the Israeli army called the residents of four quarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut to evacuate. This was done in response to the intensive military disputes with the Hisbollah and the support of this militia by Iran. The evacuation call was published on Thursday via platform X and marked the first warning of this kind for over a month for the suburbs affected, which were heavily bombarded during the one -year conflict. Thousands of people have already fled out of the area to get to safety, as OE24 reports.
In addition to the evacuations, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns the Hisbollah of further acts of violence at the border. He emphasizes the relenty towards terrorists and appeals to the return of the residents in Northern Israel. In a video -based notification, Netanyahu confirmed that the security situation should not repeat the events of October 7th, which alludes to the severe attacks on this day. The prime minister sees it as a national goal of solving the tensions diplomatically or in any other way, while the USA warn of a "clear escalation" in Lebanon, which could be potentially bloodier than the 2006 war, such as Tagesschau reported.military operations and international reactions
In the latest escalation in the border area, there was mutual fire. The Hisbollah reported ten attacks on the Israeli area, while the Israeli artillery shot several border locations. According to reports, no victim was reported to Israel, while the Hisbollah, as was also available in the local media, was faced with significant losses. A total of at least six people were killed in Beirut last weekend, while the Lebanese Ministry of Health had a total of 46 deaths and 85 injuries within 24 hours, as Tagesschau reported.
The Israeli army indicates that the air unit of the Hisbollah, supported by Iran, is working on the development of thousands of drones. Netanyahu pointed out that Israel has activated local Palestinian clans in the Gaza Strip, which should face Hamas and should therefore help to weaken the control of Hamas. The prime minister hopes that the life of Israeli soldiers will be better protected. One of these groups is Yasser Abu Shabab's clan. According to information from "Ynet", Israel pursues the goal of systematically weakening Hamas and promoting an alternative form of government, as [OE24 notes] (https://www.oe24.at/israel-zu-zu-vakuungen-im-libanon-libanon-libanon
evacuations and international diplomacy
In the middle of the military conflicts, numerous foreign citizens have also left Lebanon. Among other things, 100 US citizens and their family members were flown out, while the Bundeswehr evacuated 130 Germans, a total of 241 since the beginning of the evacuations. Australia has reserved 500 seats on commercial flights for citizens. These developments show how concerned the international community is about the current situation, in particular with the indication that Iran has actively intervened in the conflict, which increases the fears before a comprehensive regional war.
UN CEO António Guterres again called for a ceasefire and critically commented on the cycle of violence, while the US government supports Israel's right to reaction, but speaks against attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. This underlines the complexity of the situation, in which several actors are involved with different interests and goals, as also emphasized in their reports] (https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/asien/israel-libanon-hisbollah-108.html).
