The IDF issues an evacuation warning for several villages in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes on Hezbollah.
The warning is addressed to residents of Sammaaiyeh, Hanniyeh, Qlaileh, Wadi Jilou, Kniseh, Kafra, Majdal Zoun and Seddiqin. They are called to evacuate to at least a kilometer away.
“Hezbollah activities are forcing the IDF to act against it, as it does not intend to harm you,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
