The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee issues an urgent evacuation warning to residents of south Lebanon’s Kfar Hatta, saying Israeli forces will soon strike Hezbollah military infrastructure in the area.
In a post on X, Adraee says the planned strike is aimed at preventing Hezbollah from rebuilding sites used for “terror needs,” and urges civilians in buildings marked on an accompanying map – and those nearby – to leave immediately and move at least 300 meters away.
The warning comes amid near-daily operations against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, as the IDF seeks to prevent the group from reestablishing military positions near the border, despite Beirut’s claim that it disarmed the terror group south of the Litani River.
