The IDF issues an urgent evacuation warning to residents of Lebanon’s Tyre, ahead of airstrikes against Hezbollah sites.

“Hezbollah’s activity forces the IDF to act in the area you are in. The IDF does not want to harm you,” Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman says on X, alongside a map of the areas that will be targeted.

“You must immediately move away from the area marked in red and head north to the Awali River. Anyone who is near Hezbollah personnel, facilities and weapons of Hezbollah is putting their life in danger!” Adraee adds.
