The IDF issues new evacuation orders for dozens of locations in Lebanon, including a warning for residents in two southern Beirut neighborhoods to stay away from several buildings ahead of imminent military action.

“Urgent warning to the residents of Lebanon, specifically in the villages whose names are shown. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately,” says a statement by the military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee on Telegram, which lists 50 locations.

“You are located near Hezbollah facilities and interests, against which the IDF will operate in the near future,” he tells the residents of the southern Beirut neighborhoods Ghobeiry and Haret Hreik in another evacuation warning.
