As the Israel-Hamas war rages fiercely with civilian casualties on the rise, the likelihood of spilling into a regional conflict is imminent.
The Town Hall Media gathered that Israel’s Defense Ministry and the Israel Defense Forces have asked residents to evacuate from the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, near the Lebanon border.
The evacuation order, which was approved by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, comes amid fears that the Israel-Hamas war could spill over into a regional conflict.
Heavy shellings intensified in recent days between northern Israel and southern Lebanon, a stronghold of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, the following countries, The United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany and Saudi Arabia have all called on their respective nationals to leave Lebanon.
The directives come as the Israel-Hamas war enters its 14th day, with many fearful that an expected ground assault on the Gaza Strip could worsen an already dire humanitarian crisis.
The United Nations’ Secretary-General said Friday that the organization is working with all parties to clarify conditions for humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.
Hamas released two American hostages, a mother and daughter yesterday, Friday.
