For the second day in a row, the IDF has issued a warning to all residents of northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek and surrounding suburbs to evacuate immediately ahead of airstrikes on Hezbollah sites.
“You are in a combat zone where the IDF intends to attack and target Hezbollah infrastructure, assets, installations and weapons, and does not intend to harm you,” Col. Avichay Adraee says on X, attaching a map of the areas that will be targeted.
“Remaining in the red zone exposes you and your family members to danger,” he adds.
Civilians are called to leave the area using routes that are highlighted on the map.

????أنتم متواجدون في منطقة قتال حيث ينوي جيش الدفاع مهاجمة واستهداف بنى تحتية ومصالح ومنشآت ووسائل قتالية تابعة لحزب الله ولا ينوي المساس بكم.
????البقاء في المنطقة الحمراء يعرضكم ويعرض أبناء عائلتكم للخطر.
