The IDF issues a warning to residents of two southern Lebanon towns ahead of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure.
“The IDF will attack military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization to address its prohibited attempts to rebuild its activities in the area,” warns Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman.
With the announcement, the IDF publishes maps showing the locations of sites that are to be targeted, in the towns of Kfar Tebnit and Ain Qana.
“You are located near buildings used by Hezbollah, and for your own safety you must evacuate them immediately and move at least 300 meters away,” Adraee says.
