The IDF issues an evacuation warning for a building in the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon, ahead of an airstrike against Hezbollah infrastructure.
“The IDF will, in the near future, strike Hezbollah military infrastructure in light of its prohibited attempts to rebuild its activities in the area,” says spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
Civilians in the area are instructed to distance themselves at least 300 meters (328 yards) from the building.
