The IDF issues an “urgent” evacuation warning for several Lebanese villages in the southern section of the eastern Beqaa Valley.
Residents of Zellaya, Libbaya, Yohmor al-Beqaa, Sohmor, Qellaya, and Dlafy are instructed to head toward the town of Qaraoun, located around 30 kilometers north of Israel’s border.
“The activities of the Hezbollah terror organization are forcing the IDF to act forcefully against it in these areas, and we do not intend to harm you,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
