The IDF issues an evacuation warning for a building in Beirut, ahead of an airstrike against a Hezbollah site.

“You are located near facilities and interests affiliated with Hezbollah, against which the IDF will operate forcefully in the near term,” says spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee, attaching a map showing the location of a building in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.

“For your safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate this building and the adjacent ones immediately and move at least 300 meters away from them,” he adds.
