For the first time, the IDF has issued evacuation warnings for sites outside of Hezbollah’s stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes maps of several buildings in central Beirut that will be targeted.

The IDF warned earlier that it would be striking numerous branches of the Al-Qard al-Hasan association, known to be used by Hezbollah as a quasi-bank, across Lebanon.
