The IDF is again calling on Lebanese civilians near several buildings in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold, to evacuate immediately.
This is the second time tonight that Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, is making such an announcement.
In the previous one, the IDF published maps showing which sites would be targeted. This time Adraee suffices with describing the buildings that will be hit in two separate neighborhoods.
“We will continue operating to precisely dismantle Hezbollah’s offensive capabilities. Hezbollah has strategically embedded weapons in civilian areas, putting Lebanese civilians at risk in order to harm Israeli civilians,” the IDF says in a statement.
“Our war is with Hezbollah, not the people of Lebanon,” the army adds, echoing a statement it has used when describing its operations in Gaza — that its devastating war is not with Gazan civilians, rather Hamas, which carried out the October 7 onslaught.
