600 people seek refuge from Israeli attacks at a monastery in Lebanon, residents say

At least 600 people sought refuge in a monastery on the Israel-Lebanon border on Tuesday after the Israeli army warned them to flee the Christian village of Ain Ebl, local residents said.

An Israeli military spokesman warned residents of Ain Ebl and at least 20 other villages to leave their homes immediately because the army said it would target homes used by the armed group Hezbollah.

The residents fled to the monastery in the town of Rmeish, which did not receive the Israeli warning, and were waiting for an army convoy to escort them to Beirut, they told Reuters.
