  "summary": "The Israeli army ordered residents of Deir Zahrani in southern Lebanon to leave a specific zone early on Monday, ahead of strikes against Iran-backed Hezbollah. According to France 24, Hezbollah's Al-Manar television channel later reported Israeli airstrikes on Deir Zahrani.\n\nThe Israeli military's expulsion orders were followed by air strikes on the area, resulting in numerous casualties, as reported by Middle East Eye.\n\nThe Indian Express reported separately on a different development, stating that Iran plans to declare a restricted zone just outside the Strait of Hormuz. However, this development is unrelated to the events in Lebanon.",
