The IDF has issued evacuation warnings for areas east of the coastal Lebanese city of Tyre ahead of airstrikes.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes maps alongside the announcement, which calls on civilians in Burj el-Shemali, al-Housh, and Maashouq to immediately evacuate and head north or the Awali River.

“Hezbollah’s terror activities force the IDF to act forcefully against it in these areas, and we do not intend to harm you. Anyone who is near Hezbollah elements, facilities or weapons is putting his life in danger,” Adraee says.
