Israeli army issues new evacuation call for Baalbek region
The Israeli military on Sunday called for the evacuation of the Baalbek area in eastern Lebanon, warning that it was ready to strike Hezbollah targets there and in nearby Douris.
The latest evacuation call came as the military's Home Front Command activated sirens at regular intervals along the border as dozens of projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory since Sunday morning.
"You are currently located near the facilities and assets associated with Hezbollah, which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will be targeting in the near future," the Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X addressed to residents of Baalbek and Douris.
The Israeli air force intercepted several projectiles that were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory, while some fell in open areas, the military said in a statement.
On Thursday, rocket fire from Lebanon killed seven people in the town of Metula in northern Israel, including four Thai farmers.
Israel and Hezbollah have been locked in a deadly war since September 23 that has killed more than 1,900 people in Lebanon, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry figures.
Israel's military says 38 soldiers have been killed in the Lebanon campaign since it began ground operations on September 30.
Clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants first erupted on October 8 last year when the Lebanese group began firing rockets into Israel in support of its ally Hamas, a day after the Palestinian militant group launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza.

Talk 44-MISSED GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR FREEDOM: All wondering if Hizbollah agrees to UN 1701. This is surreal! Anyone with half a brain knows Hizb arms has nothing to do with protecting Lebanon but transforming South into Iranian rocket base endangering its residents. Hizbollah is an Iranian Brigade causing more destruction every day it is not disarmed, its leadership & deputies put in prison & properties confiscated. Anyone helping HizbIran to stack arms, create hideouts in residences and dig tunnels must be tried for grand treason. Netanyahu actually wants Hizb to retain some arms so he can torpedo the 2-state solution & stay in power instead of prison. For permanent peace, democracy, independence & prosperity our Army must immediately give an ultimatum to Hizb to surrender all its arms & tunnels. Everyday it wait results in more destruction and innocent lives killed. Thousand volunteers will join army if it needs help to get rid Lebanon of this cancer. Serious Talks Continue:

Talk 48 – ENOUGH HIZB APOLOGISTS AT MTV:
1. George Ghanem must be fired by MTV for being Hizb mouthpiece. He can’t see difference between Maronite political power used to preserve freedom, democracy & sovereignty; Sunnis political power with Rafiq Hariri focusing on education, development & growth making Beirut envy of the region; and Shia duo power that is destroying everything Hariri built, killed our freedom and independence, bankrupted our nation making it an Iranian rocket base. Worst he wants Army to fight Israel instead of disarming Hizb for no more wars. What a disgrace!
2. Nabila Awad; hard to find a dumber reporter. She keeps saying Hizb received Shia vote & praising Nassrallah the killer of Hariri, Tueni, M14 martyrs & the assassin of a nation. Pls read history to know that no free vote under arms. 95% percent of Shia Iraqi voted for Saddam (same for Kadafi & Assad). When Hizb is disarmed its leaders will be hanged by Shia for duping them for so long.

No 2-state solution is possible with Hizb and Hamas keeping arms. Once disarmed, Netanyahu will most likely lose election and him and his radicals ministers will face justice for war crimes and inciting hate. Hamas and Hizbollah leaders should also face justice for sacrificing their people and damaging Arab nations to benefit Iranian tyrants as well as stabbing in the back Saudi regional peace efforts. They are as radical as Houthis and Taliban indoctrinating. oppressing and destroying the future of a whole generation.

Gebran’s sons is trapped in a bygone era, stubbornly pushing outdated, 20th-century political agendas as if they still hold any weight in today’s world. While he clings to relics of the past, Lebanon’s so-called Western “allies” have long since sold the country to the highest bidder, leaving us to grapple with the consequences. His narrow vision ignores the fact that Lebanon’s future cannot and should not be tethered to those who’ve repeatedly betrayed it.

It’s time to wake up: true peace and prosperity for Lebanon will come not from clinging to failed Western alliances but from forging new connections with the Global South—nations with whom we can build equitable partnerships, grounded in mutual respect and common interests. Gebran’s sons will eventually have to face reality: his dated approach is a dead end, and it’s Lebanon’s alignment with the Global South that offers the real path forward. Holding onto his obsolete ideals is not only unproductive but risks condemning Lebanon to perpetual instability and missed opportunities for growth.
