Might be a dumb question but civilians in Northern Israel have already evacuated right?

Most of them. I read a recent article that interviewed a holdout. I'm sure there are others.

The initial Israeli evacuation area was within 2 kilometres of the border with Lebanon. There seem to have been some expansion of evacuations since, but I believe it's still only within a few kilometers of the border. Estimates in March were that about 60,000 Israeli citizens remain evacuated (source: AP).

The IDF camp in this article is around 55 kilometres from the Lebanese border, and about 30 kilometres south of Haifa (a city which is not evacuated) (source: ABC News (AU)).

I see. Well, I guess they'll have to expand the evacuation area after this.

That is, in fact, not true. The civilians in an Apartheid system are definitely civilians.
