With just over four hours to go until a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the IDF issues evacuation warnings for three buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs ahead of airstrikes.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes maps alongside the announcement, which call on civilians to distance themselves at least 500 meters from the sites.

The evacuation warnings come as Israeli airstrikes are reported in Beirut, as well as on the Syria-Lebanon border.

Lebanese media outlets report that an apartment was struck in the capital a short while ago.

Meanwhile, Syria’s state news agency SANA says that Israeli warplanes hit the Arida and Dabousiya border crossings with Lebanon, in the Tartus Governorate.
