The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee issues another urgent evacuation warning to Lebanese civilians, this time to residents of Machghara in the Western Beqaa District, saying Israeli forces will soon strike Hezbollah military infrastructure in the area.
In a post on X, Adraee says the IDF is planning to target the Hezbollah sites due to the terror group’s “illegal attempts to restore its activity in the area” and urges civilians in buildings marked on accompanying maps, and those nearby, to leave immediately and move at least 300 meters away.
A short while ago, the military announced that it was striking separate targets in Lebanon, following a similar evacuation warning for the town of Sohmor.
