IDF warns Lebanese civilians to immediately move away from homes used by Hezbollah to store weapons

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari issues a message to Lebanese civilians in border villages, warning them against Hezbollah’s use of their homes to store weaponry.

“To all the residents of the villages in Lebanon, in the near future we will strike terror targets in Lebanon. We call on everyone who is near properties or inside homes where Hezbollah is hiding weapons, we call on you to distance yourselves from them immediately. This is for your safety and protection,” he says.

Hagari shows previously unreleased footage of Hezbollah operatives preparing to launch a cruise missile from within a civilian home in a southern Lebanon village. The building was targeted in an airstrike.

“Hezbollah puts you and your families in danger. Hezbollah is planning to launch these weapons toward Israel, stay away from them immediately for your own protection,” he says.

Meanwhile, Hagari says that the ongoing widespread strikes in Lebanon come after the military identified Hezbollah preparations to launch rockets at Israel.

He says the strikes will continue to “remove the threats.”
