The Israeli army issued an urgent warning to residents of nine Lebanese towns, citing Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire agreement and calling for immediate evacuation to open areas at least 1,000 meters away.
The Israeli army issued an urgent warning to Lebanese residents present in the following towns and villages: Qa'qa'iyat al-Snawbar, Kawthariyat al-Sayyad, al-Marwaniya, al-Ghassaniya, Tafahita, Arzi (Sidon), al-Babliya, Ansar (Nabatieh), and al-Bisariya.
Its spokesman Avichay Adraee said via the "X" platform: "In light of the terrorist Hezbollah's violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is forced to act against it forcefully. The IDF does not intend to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move away from the villages and towns to a distance of no less than 1,000 meters into open areas. Anyone who is near Hezbollah elements, its facilities, and its combat means endangers his life!"
