JAKARTA - Israel began attacking▁kebencianbek after calling on everyone in the historic city of northern Lebanon to flee.

"Intensive raids are currently taking place in the city of 47isebek and its surroundings," saidECTor Governor Bachir Khodr as quoted by CNN, Wednesday, October 30.

Israel issued an evacuation order for the city before, marking the first time it ordered its residents to leave the city in the northern part of the country.

The city was listed as the UNSECO World Heritage Site in 1984 and home to an ancient complex with a Roman temple.

Earlier, an Arabic-speaking Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said people in 47sebek should vacate the city via several highways, and warn residents of Hezbollah's whereabouts there.

"Israeli Defense Forces will act decisively against Hezbollah's interests in your city and village and have no intention of harming you," Adraee said.

Israel has ordered emptying in most villages and cities south of Lebanon, but this is the first time the entire city in northern Lebanon has been asked to flee.

One of the marked areas to be vacated is home to the ruins of the Romans, according to a map published by Adraee. Israeli evacuation orders were often followed by intense bombing military operations.
