PARIS, April 30 - The Israeli military warned residents of eight Lebanese towns outside of the "buffer zone" to leave their homes immediately on Thursday ahead of strikes.
The "buffer zone" in southern Lebanon was occupied by Israeli troops before a ceasefire that was announced earlier this month but has failed to fully halt hostilities.
More than 2,500 people have been killed in Israeli strikes across Lebanon since March 2, when Hezbollah fired on Israel in support of its ally Iran and triggered an Israeli ground and air campaign that has left swathes of southern Lebanon in ruins.
