The IDF issues evacuation warnings for buildings in the southern Lebanon villages of Kfar Jouz, Harouf, and Kfour — in the Nabatieh area — ahead of airstrikes 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 buildings.
