The Israeli emergency authority and occupation army added 14 northern settlements within 5km from the Lebanese border to the evacuation plan funded by the government, following approval from Security Minister Yoav Gallant.
This comes as Hezbollah is increasing its operations targeting Israeli military bases and outposts located on occupied Lebanese lands in support of Gaza, which is witnessing daily Israeli massacres. In its latest report, the Palestinian health ministry said that the total number of Martyrs in the Strip surpassed 4,200, including more than 1,700 children.
According to Israeli media, the settlements are: "Snir, Dan, Beit Hillel, She'ar Yashuv, Hagoshrim, Liman, Matzuva, Eylon, Goren, Gornot HaGalil, Even Menachem, Sasa, Tziv'on and Ramot Naftali."
Earlier this week, the Israeli military issued an order to evacuate 28 occupation settlements within 5km of the Lebanese borders. The new decision raises this number to 42.

Israeli military spokesperson Jonathan Conricus revealed on Tuesday that around 500,000 Israeli settlers had to evacuate their settlements in north and southern occupied Palestine since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7.
US and Israeli officials disclosed to American media outlets that US President Joe Biden and his top aides have been pushing "Israel" to refrain from executing a major strike against the Lebanese Resistance, Hezbollah, that could draw it into the war.
The warning comes amid concern that "Tel Aviv" cannot handle a two-front war, which would potentially bring in both the United States and Iran.
