The Israeli army has ordered people living in 12 towns in southern Lebanon and the western Bekaa Valley to leave their homes.
It's the first time since the ceasefire came into effect last month that the evacuation orders include the Bekaa Valley.
Israel has continued to carry out air strikes and forcibly displace communities - in violation of the agreement.
The military is expanding its occupation of southern Lebanon.
About 1.2 million people have been forced from their homes since March the 2nd.
