The IDF issues an evacuation warning for several Lebanese towns north of Israel’s southern Lebanon security zone, ahead of airstrikes on Hezbollah.
“In light of the Hezbollah terror organization’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is compelled to act against it with force,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
Civilians in Mayfadoun, Shoukine, Yohmar, Arnoun, Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, and Kfar Tebnit are instructed to evacuate their homes and move at least a kilometer away from an area designated on a map published by the IDF.
