Officials in Israel’s northern-most community of Metula have urged residents to leave, fearing they could find themselves targeted if Hezbollah launches an assault against Israel.
“In light of a situational assessment and the potential for escalation here, we are beseeching you to leave,” the town’s security team says in a message.
It says those who can’t independently evacuate or can’t arrange alternative lodging will get help in doing so.
