IDF warns 16 southern Lebanon villages, towns to evacuate ahead of strikes on Hezbollah

Ahead of airstrikes, the IDF orders 16 villages and towns in southern Lebanon to evacuate due to Hezbollah’s repeated attacks on troops amid the ceasefire.

The warning covers an area south of the Litani River that is already under a blanket evacuation warning.

“In light of the Hezbollah terror group’s violations of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is compelled to act against it with force,” warns army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.

Civilians are instructed to head to the Sidon area on the coast, north of the Litani River.

“Anyone who is near Hezbollah elements, its facilities, or its weapons is putting their life at risk,” Adraee adds.
