Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich warns of potential large-scale strikes on Hezbollah’s Beirut stronghold after rare evacuation orders, with over 300,000 displaced nationwide, officials say.
- During a visit to northern border communities, Smotrich said Dahieh could look like Khan Younis after evacuation warnings and crowds fleeing the area, citing potential devastation.
- Touring northern border towns, Smotrich argued Israel is 'cutting off the head of the octopus' and will 'sever the Hezbollah arm' as a Security Cabinet member, signaling this may be only the beginning.
- The Lebanese Health Ministry reported 102 killed and 638 wounded since Monday, and displaced civilians exceed 300,000 as residents flee in panic following evacuation orders, with heavy gunfire heard shortly after.
- The Lebanese government announced measures to cancel Iran's visa-free entry and ban IRGC activity, while Human Rights Watch warned that broad evacuation orders may violate laws of war.
- With evacuation orders covering more and more of Lebanon, strikes have expanded beyond the south of Lebanon, while Smotrich's past prediction that Hamas would disappear within six months went unmet.
