The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) made an urgent call to civilians living in southern Lebanon. The IDF requested the residents of 24 villages in the area to leave their homes immediately for security reasons.
IDF's Arabic spokesperson Colonel Avichay Adraee stated in a social media announcement: "Hezbollah's activities are forcing us to take action. Our goal is not to harm civilians. For your own safety, please leave the area immediately."
Adraee emphasized that civilians who are in close contact with Hezbollah members or their weapons are at risk. He also warned that every building used by Hezbollah would be a potential target.
While civilians are asked to head north, it was noted that moving south could be dangerous. The IDF announced that it would later inform when the area would be safe.
This warning is related to the limited ground operations initiated by the Israeli army in southern Lebanon. Israeli officials stated that these operations target Hezbollah's infrastructure in the border area and will conclude as soon as possible.
These developments indicate an escalation of tension along the Israel-Lebanon border and create a concerning situation for civilians in the region.
