The IDF confirms it has postponed its planned strike in southern Lebanon, after the Lebanese army began to search the alleged Hezbollah site.
In a statement, Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, says that after the army issued a warning to evacuate a building in the town of Yanouh, the Lebanese army requested, via a ceasefire monitoring mechanism, to “access the site that had been implicated and to address the violation of the agreement.”
“The IDF decided to allow this, and accordingly, the strike was postponed,” Adraee says.
“The IDF is continuously monitoring the target and remains in contact with the mechanism,” he adds.
