IDF calls on residents of 21 more villages in south Lebanon to evacuate

The Israel Defense Forces call on civilian residents of 21 more villages in south Lebanon to evacuate to areas north of the Awali River amid intensified fighting against Hezbollah.

“The IDF has no intention of harming you. For your own safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move immediately to the north of the Awali River,” IDF Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee writes on X. “To ensure your own safety, you must evacuate without delay.”

“Anyone who is near Hezbollah operatives, facilities or weapons is putting their life in danger,” Adraee warns.
