The IDF issues evacuation warnings for 12 villages in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes targeting the Hezbollah terror group.

Residents of Kaouthariyet al-Saiyad, Ghassaniyeh, Mazraat al-Daoudiyeh, Bedias, Rihan, Zellaya, Bazouriye, Harouf, Habboush, Ansariyeh, Qalaouiyeh, and Deir ez-Zahrani are instructed to evacuate at least a kilometer away.

Earlier, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported Israeli airstrikes in the southern Lebanon towns of Reshknanay and Safad al-Battikh.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the strikes.

Overnight, an Israeli drone strike in the town of Deir Kifa wounded three paramedics of Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Authority, according to NNA.
