The Israeli military reiterates its evacuation warning for the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold known as the Dahiyeh, ahead of airstrikes.
“The IDF continues to operate and attack the military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization throughout the Dahiyeh. The IDF does not intend to harm you, and therefore, for your safety, you must evacuate immediately,” warns army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
The Israeli Air Force has struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in the Dahiyeh in the past month, and the military has repeatedly called on Lebanese civilians to evacuate the area.
