The IDF again calls on Lebanese civilians to evacuate Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold known as the Dahiyeh.
“The IDF continues to operate and attack the military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization throughout the Dahiyeh area with increasing force. The IDF does not intend to harm you, and therefore, for your safety, you must evacuate immediately,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adaree.
The Israeli Air Force has struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in the Dahiyeh in the past three weeks, and the military has repeatedly called on Lebanese civilians to evacuate the area.
