JERUSALEM, April 8 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military issued evacuation warnings Wednesday to residents of seven areas in Beirut's southern suburbs and in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, hours after a temporary U.S.-Iran truce was announced.
In posts on X, Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said the army planned to strike infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah. "To ensure your safety, you must evacuate immediately," he said.
The warnings came after the United States and Iran announced a two-week ceasefire. Israel said it accepts the truce but will continue fighting in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
Separately, the Israeli military said Wednesday it killed a member of Hamas involved in engineering and producing explosive devices in the northern Gaza Strip. In a statement, the military said Muhammad Dawad was killed in a strike on Monday.
Israel has carried out near-daily strikes in Gaza despite a ceasefire that took effect in October 2025, killing at least 733 people and bringing the total Palestinian death toll in the enclave to 72,312, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. ■
