The governmental hospital of Mais al-Jabal (Marjayoun district) was fully evacuated of its staff after doctors and employees received threats from the Israeli army on their phones, the head of the local municipal council confirmed to our correspondent.
He added that all the village residents had already left, fearing Israeli strikes.
The Israeli army has been targeting southern Lebanon since Monday morning with dozens of strikes across all districts.
