The IDF issues an evacuation warning for a building and the surrounding area in Beirut’s southern suburbs, ahead of an airstrike against a Hezbollah asset in the Lebanese capital.
In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, publishes a map showing the location of the building.
#عاجل ‼️ انذار عاجل للمتواجدين في الضاحية الجنوبية في بيروت وخاصة في حي الحدث
????لكل من يتواجد في المبنى المحدد بالأحمر وفق ما يُعرض في الخارطة المرفقة والمباني المجاورة له: أنتم تتواجدون بالقرب من منشآت تابعة لحزب الله

“To everyone present in the building marked in red as shown on the map and the buildings adjacent to it: You are present near facilities belonging to Hezbollah,” he says.
The statement calls on civilians to evacuate at least 300 meters from the building for their safety.
It marks only the second time that the IDF has issued warnings ahead of strikes in Beirut since the start of the ceasefire with Lebanon.
