Israel responded to Lebanese calls for "de-escalation" in the south with evacuation warnings issued to additional towns, a move likely to intensify internal pressure on the state.
Southern sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that an expanded "red zone" has emerged, running alongside the "yellow line" and stretching to the outskirts of Nabatieh across an area more than 35 kilometers wide, extending about 25 kilometers into Lebanese territory. It includes dozens of villages now exposed to shelling or evacuation warnings, triggering additional waves of displacement.
