The IDF issues new evacuation warnings in southern Lebanon ahead of strikes on Hezbollah targets.

Residents of the towns of Kharayeb and Ansar are instructed to evacuate at least 300 meters away from several buildings that are marked on a map published by Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman.

The warnings come as the IDF carries out a wave of strikes against Hezbollah sites, following evacuation instructions in three other Lebanese towns.
