The Israeli army announced an urgent warning to the residents of Lebanon, especially those residing in a number of southern villages and towns. He asked them to evacuate their homes immediately and move away from them for a distance of no less than 1,000 meters towards open areas.
The warning included the following villages and towns: “Rab Thirteen, Markabah, Hula, Qal’at Dibba, Qabrikha, Tulin, Al-Khirbet, Shaqra, Al-Sawwanah, Majdal Salam, Al-Tamriyah, Al-Tayri, Talusah, Safad Al-Batikh, Jamijma, and Bani Hayyan.”
The Israeli army justified its move by what it described as “Hezbollah activities” in these areas, stressing that it did not target civilians. He warned that being near party members or its military property may pose a threat to the lives of residents.
The statement concluded by calling on the people to leave the villages immediately and not return to them at the present time, in order to preserve their safety.
