The IDF issues an evacuation warning for the Lebanese village of Kfar Hatta, which is located north of the Zahrani River, ahead of airstrikes against Hezbollah.
“Hezbollah’s activities are forcing the IDF to act against it with force. The IDF does not intend to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move at least 1,000 meters away from the village,” warns army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
As the village is located north of the Zahrani River, it had not been included in the IDF’s blanket evacuation warning for southern Lebanon.
