The IDF issues a warning to residents of two towns in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure.

“The IDF will attack military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization throughout southern Lebanon, in response to its prohibited attempts to rebuild its activities in the area,” warns Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman.

With the announcement, the IDF publishes maps showing the locations of sites that are going to be targeted in the towns of Taybeh and Tayr Debba.

“For your safety, you are required to evacuate those buildings and the adjacent buildings immediately and distance yourselves from them by no less than 500 meters,” Adraee says.

Israeli evacuation warnings before strikes in Lebanon have been relatively rare since a November 2024 ceasefire. The last such warning was issued on September 18 ahead of strikes in southern Lebanon.
