Desk note: Monexus treated the 8 May southern Lebanon strikes, the evacuation orders, the Hezbollah Miron claim and the Channel 12 reporting on Iran as a single integrated file. The wires covered them as four or five separate items; the structural connection, which is what makes the day legible as a direction of travel rather than a snapshot, is the editorial contribution here.
