The IDF again calls on Lebanese civilians to evacuate Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold known as the Dahiyeh.
“Out of concern for your safety, we urge you to evacuate immediately and not return to these neighborhoods until further notice,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adaree.
The IDF has struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in the Dahiyeh in recent days, and has repeatedly called on Lebanese civilians to evacuate the area.
