Amnesty Accuses Israel of Misleading Evacuation Warnings
News summary

Amnesty International has criticized Israel for issuing 'misleading' and inadequate evacuation warnings to residents of southern Lebanon, raising concerns that these may be aimed at displacing civilians amid ongoing military operations against Hezbollah. The organization analyzed over a dozen evacuation orders, noting that many were delivered at inappropriate times—some less than 30 minutes before strikes—and through social media, often at night when residents were asleep. Since September 23, Israel's intensified air campaign has reportedly killed over 1,200 people and displaced more than a million, with warnings covering large areas that could trigger mass relocation. Amnesty emphasized that such evacuations do not absolve Israel from its obligations under international humanitarian law, particularly regarding the protection of civilians. The group called for adherence to international norms and precautions to minimize harm to non-combatants, amid fears that the current situation could forcibly uproot many residents in the region. Israel has yet to officially respond to these allegations and continues its military activities in southern Lebanon, including ground incursions.
