The IDF issues evacuation warnings for another 15 villages in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes.
Residents of Jibshit, Habboush, Harouf, Kfar Jouz, Nabatiyeh al-Faouqa, Ebba, Aadshit, Arab Salim, Toul, Houmine al-Faouqa, Mjadel, Arzoun, Dounine, Haumeiri, and Maaroub are instructed to evacuate 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.
The towns are north of the Israeli-declared “security zone” held by troops in southern Lebanon.
