The Israeli military issues an unusual threat against Iranian regime officials in Lebanon, warning that they will be targeted if they do not leave the country within 24 hours.
“The IDF warns representatives of the Iranian terror regime who are still in Lebanon to leave immediately before being targeted,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
“The IDF warns that it will not tolerate any presence of representatives of the Iranian terror regime in Lebanon and will grant regime representatives currently in Lebanon 24 hours to leave the country. After that, there will be no safe place for representatives of the Iranian regime in Lebanon, and the IDF will target them wherever they are found,” he says.
